Emotional support and caring are probably the best things you can do.
Such a big loss for your cousin might center mostly on feeling alone or abandoned.
It's an awful place to be, as you know.
I'm so sorry.

What's the prognosis & is s/he willing to undergo treatments?
I would encourage them to reduce stress, eat organic & listen to docs.
Healing vibes on the way! 💓💓💓

She was one of the finest people I have ever known, and I'm glad to remember saying as much.
I'm sorry.

(2,133 posts)and things can be done. My wife has stage 4 and she just had 6 treatments of Doxrubicon and another which is a cocktail. It appears that everything is stabilized. What kind of cancer does this person have?
Stabilization is what the Oncologist works to get.

(4,332 posts)I support you. If there's anything I can do to help, I'm here to help any way I can. Most of all, know how much you mean to me.
At this time, knowing that they're loved and supported is the most important thing, IMO. I don't have the cancer issue, I have the senile dementia and going downhill issue to deal with. And it's with my Mom, which makes it really hard. How do you condense a lifetime in a few words. Those are what I came up with that seemed to mean the most... to the both of us.
