Having gone thru this 5 years ago when my wife died of breast cancer, there is only one correct answer. He must be told. No if's, and's or but's about this one. We are all dieing. It's part of the deal. He needs to be informed so that he can plan his own course for the remaining days. It's his life. Not the family's. If they are too selfish to tell him, you do it. Anyone who knowingly goes along with this is part of a conspiracy to steal from your friend information he NEEDS to live his life.

I'll pray for the Lord to speak loudly in the hearts of his family and friends.
