I have a friend who is dying?

I have a friend, 36 years old, getting married in August and he has just found out that he has advanced stages of Pancreatic cancer and has one month to live? I don't know what to say to him?

    If he has not done that abusive, ineffective chemo treatment, call the Gerson Clinic in San Diego, they may be able to help him. There are a few types of pancreatic cancer, some worse than others. The medical people are terrible with this disease and you need to get him to people that can give him the best chance of survival. Any chemo done to the pancreas will reduce his ability to survive greatly.

    good luck to you

    There really isn't anything to say. The need to say something usually comes from the side of the person being told and not the person with cancer. He knows there is nothing you can say to make it better. Let him know you're there for him and treat him normal. He may be dieing but that doesn't mean he needs to be treated as if he will break. Go out for a drink with him or whatever you two usually do. Support him in his decisions.

    it doesnt matter what u say. its about being there for him. do TONS of fun stuff. if he only has one month to live, make it the best month he has ever lived to seen! ( i knew a person who had cancer, and she only had a couple months to live. well, she lived more then just that. she had another kid, she made lots of friends, and the cancer went away... then came back. u never know with cancer.)

    Source(s): experience. i had a friend who died from it, and my grandma is actually a survivor from cancer!
  • Let him enjoy the rest of his life. Do all the fun things he wants to do, and take take time off to be with him. Just tell him that sometimes doctors are wrong, and if he can tell his fiancé that he might die soon, and maybe to get married earlier...? I'm sorry. I'm not the best to be dealing with these situations.

    I am so sorry to hear that, all you can do is be there when he needs you and try to carry on as normal as you can, if you are sad and down around him he will be worse. Its the hardest thing to deal with but you need to keep your chin up for him. Let him tell you what he needs you to do for him and be as strong as you can for him. Once again i am so sorry. Take care.

    Try to be there for him as much as you can. He needs you.
