Can't add much to what's already been said and I do think you nailed it just in what you already said to him. And, I'd love to hear more stories. I hope it's just the chemo, but as everyone has said, just be the friend you are and let him know you are there when he needs you, as long as you take care of yourself, first. It can take a lot to be there, so it's important you pace yourself and/or find other ways to deal with it, too, such as coming to your other friends and telling more stories, how you are feeling, etc. We are here for you, too.
