How to be a friend to a friend who's sick

How to be a friend to a friend who's sick by Letty Cottin Pogrebin 283 pgs.

A book full of good advice and stories of friendship that will motivate you to do the right thing when you have a friend who is sick.  Unfortunately, the writer is writing from personal experience after being blind sided with a diagnosis of breast cancer.  She was as much surprised by the number of friends who came through for her as those who ran away from her and started talking to her fellow cancer treatment patients about this phenomenon.  As she recovered, she decided this would be a good topic for a book and continued with wider interviews.  Nothing here will probably surprise you too much but she does provide some rules of thumb and suggestions for helping out when someone you know is in need.
