Hey friend, perhaps you can help me with some advice. My best friend since childhood (we're about twice your age) has recently been diagnosed with cancer and the way I understand it, his outlook is roughly the same as yours. I haven't met up with him in person since learning the news, but will very soon, so I was wondering: How do you like the people close to you to behave around you? Should I just be my usual self? Should I address the diagnosis and its implications or should I avoid it? Should I avoid talking about things happening in my life or about "the future" in general? I'm up for anything, I just want him to be as comfortable as possible.

Thanks in advance! Glad you're holding up well so far, I wish you all the best.

Got it, I'll be just normal and not beat around the bush then. It's what I was thinking as well. The people your care for suddenly acting all different and weird can never be a good thing.

Thanks a lot, stay strong!
