One year ago one of my good friend was ill and he was in the hospital and it was very serious, I think he got a form of cancer and we had to see him in the hospital. When I saw him he was very sick and he didn't know how serious he was and the doctor also asked us not to tell him the truth of his illness. We were very sad and just told him "You should be patient and take care of yourself. Your health will get better and better and we can play again in the futre." So I just delivered some of the bad news to him.

I'm sorry to hear that......
It's very difficult for me to convey to you.....
It's hard to believe but it's a fact!
I hate to be the one to tell you this bad news.
Take care of yourself.
If you need some help you can call me anytime.
Don't worry too much, everything will be well.
If there's anything I can do please let me know.
Try to be strong, you will get through this.
If you need a sholder to cry on, I'm here for you.
