Sorry, I don't have an answer for your anaplastic question but your friend is so fortunate to have such an awesome friend like you. He is trying hard to deal with his cancer a little bit at a time and you are surely giving him that outlet. As he processes more and accepts it and starts feeling worse, he will have someone right there to help in any way he asks. Let him ask and please do not take it personally when he bites back or you feel he is attacking you. Be thankful he trusts you enough when that happens. I think we all went through that because this disease just changes so much in such a short time.
Go with your heart...it will never let you down!
