We will survive A.L.L- whatever it takes

My friend's son was diagnosed with Leukemia two nights ago. He called me because he knows I have experienced what he is going through. I don't know how to help him. I am going to bring him a lot of food, drinks, books, toys, etc.. One is never more alone than when one is living in a hospital with ones own sick child. Cancer sucks. Can we find a cure yet? Please?
