I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I will send lots of warm thoughts and prayers for healing her way.
My mom has had a degenerative blood disease for a long time now and we've struggled to find ways to cheer her up. I call her every day to check in with her, and that seems to help. Often, when I'm near her, I'll just hold her hand, and sit and listen to her... that seems to help more than anything.
Does she have a favorite scent or anything? There are anti-stress balms available at places like Bath and Body works that can be very calming. What about massage? Is she feeling well enough to go out, or would she be willing to have someone come in? A hand or foot massage (or a back massage) can help her release some of the tension she's so surely feeling right now.
I wish her all the best.
