my friend has been struggling through treatments for colon cancer . i am trying to be as supportive and helpful as i can . i try to go to every chemotherapy treatment she gets since her family is n't nearby . aww , that 's terrible but good she has you . i have had many family members that had that fight . how did you encourage them ? i try to be compassionate and uplifting but finding the right combination is tough . it really is . i found being positive is key and you 're probably more helpful than you realize . even though you feel it 's not exactly right , does n't hurt to ask too .
A loved one battling cancer.
