Asking for advice for someone who may have been in the same situation. A dear friend who I worked with for many many years has been diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer. From what I have seen from people who have had this - it's quite a painful death. He has just retired and had so many plans ahead of him. When/if I go to see him - what do you say to someone who has had this sort of news ? How can I lift the spirits ? I really want to start visiting him but am soo scared of saying something where I put my foot in it.
