My friend has cancer
hi! My friend has been absent from school for 3 months and has been in the hospital, most likely with cancer. I really want to visit her and cheer her up...the problem is that I don't know what to say or what to get her as a get-well present. By the way, she isn't coming back to school...she's homeschooled.

I am sorry about your friend. Just be yourself around her.. bring her flowers, balloons and a bear or stuffed animal of her favorite animal, you can write her a poem about your friendship, make a photo album or have your friends all sign a big card for her. Just be creative! The creative things always mean the most!!
-need anything else feel free to drop one in-
God Bless,
you, your friend and her family.

say exactly that, just say you really miss her and that you want to cheer her up and visit her more often and you don't know what else to say but stay with her. maybe tell her about the people who miss her at school. and for the present, what does she like? stuffed animals, flowers, candy, money, cards? yer her friend, think about it! hope i helped!

Just be you. Dont go all soft on her just make her laugh because after what shes been through she will need you to be there to support her. Get her a get well card and a small present, Like a teddy holding a heart saying friends.
luv roxie

The first thing that your friend would want to tell you is to not treat them any differently that you would any other time, your friend is sick, its something that you cant help, My uncle had cancer and he didnt make it, but his feelings were always hurt on top of everything else that he though that he was really different and ppl were acting weird around him,I hope your friend will be ok, My aunt now has breast cancer but is doin really well and just go visit your friend and take them a baloon or something, just to let them know that the thought is there and you miss them at school! Having to take the treatments make you really sleepy so thats probably the only reason that shes homeschooled!

I have a male friend in the same position, he was out for half-the year and then went back into remission this year. We just made him cards our sleves (wich shows that you put thought into it instead of going out and buying card 2 minutes before you visit her). Then when you get there you ask how they are doing and if they need anything, tell them about school and chat like she's perfectly healthy, as you would if she was at school with you. And if she wants to ralk about the cancer then you should listen before trying to pretend you know what she's going through, and then you show how you feel for her. Hope this helps!

Heya,
If she has been at school at one point, then you could get everyone in her old class to sign a get-well-soon card. If not, get all her friends to sign it.
A teddy might be a nice idea too because it can get pretty lonely being in hospital and she might be scared so it'd be nice for her to have something comforting.
If she is allowed to eat them (check with her parents) you could get her chocolates (they're great for cheering people up because they help produce a 'happy hormone' - seriously!), or her favourite sweet thing like honeycomb pieces, fairy cakes...anything.
What would be really nice is if you held some kind of sponsored event - such as a silence or running, or even just had a tombola or a raffle - and raised as much money as you can for cancer research. Then you could make a cheque out for cancer research with this money, in your friend's name.
You could write off to her favourite celebrity and ask them for an autograph and a get-well message. Google them and they should have an official website with an address you can write to with fan mail.
If she's really sick then she won't be making much of an effort with her appearance and that might get her down. You could give her a manicure or a new hairstyle or just do her make up.
Whatever you give her, she'll appreciate it...if she's been on her own for 3 months in hospital (excluding family obviously) she'll just be glad to see you!!
Blessed Be,

You just talk to her about whatever you usually talk about. Ask her how she's feeling and whats wrong all that too, but mostly treat her as you always do. :)

When you go visit her bring her flowers and a teddy bear. When you see her you will know what to say to her. Just ask her how shes doing and that you hope she feels better soon. x0
