Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Yes it is very shocking but you need to be strong because at this moment your friend needs your support. If you will loose hope then there will be no one to support your friend. You can take leave from office for a week and visit your friend's place. Tell him that together you both will work out. Visit oncologist in your area with his reports and discuss the details including prognosis of treatment.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing him good health.
