SS Advice - Trigger Warning, Cancer Diagnosis

[TJ]

Hug, I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis, please know that my family and I are here for you, if you need anything.

Or if that is difficult to say, have a card written.

I agree with TJ. Just expressing that you are sorry about the diagnosis and that you are there is the most important.

Yea there's not much more than that to say. I'd be kind of surprised that he's attending a birthday party with a bunch of kids though. Usually chemo knocks out your immune system.

What they said. Let them know you are there for them if needed. I would probably bring a simple hand written note just in case. It may be difficult/awkward to find an appropriate time at the party so having a card as a backup will ensure you get to say it regardless.
