Stage 4 stomach cancer

Hi everyone! One of my good friends was recently diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. He is in his early 40s and he’s been doing chemotherapy since July, this year. This journey is very difficult for him, and we (his friends) are trying to keep him motivated as much as possible. Unfortunately, he is slowly distancing himself from us, for the past 3 weeks he didn’t let us come see him and doesn’t really talk to us (phone or texts). His mental health is declining rapidly and we think it might be helpful if he could talk to someone that has been in the same situation and understands what he is going through.

if anyone has any suggestions or would be willing to talk to him, we would be extremely grateful ( all of us are located in San Jose area)

thank you!
