My uncle's wife has cancer.

My uncle's wife just found out that she has stage 1 breast cancer. The whole family is devastated considering the fact that we have never really had anyone in our family encounter cancer. I feel horrible especially because I've always thought bad about her since my uncle met her through an international dating blog site. So now, I'm trying my best to change my views and be kinder to her because I know cancer is not a joke. I want to help in any way I can. Perhaps, some of you might have some suggestions and advice as to how to make cancer patients feel physically and emotionally better. I would love to hear any of it.
