Hullo
A friend has squamous anaplastic tonsillar and is now in week 6 of 8 week radiotherapy. He's suffering badly with all the things you all know about..he's fiercely independant, lives alone - and we talk on messenger. We share jokes, jibes and smart-arse dialogue but now he's obviously in a bad way.
I find it hard to 'be there' without either false jollity or platitudes. I care very deeply about him..and would appreciate any advice about how to be the best type of friend.
thank you
