When friend groups receive disappointing cancer treatment test results together

My friend group has been supporting our friend through cancer treatment and now her latest scan results show the treatment isn't working as hoped — we're all devastated but none of us knows how to show up for her or for each other in this new reality. We've been the cheerleader squad through treatment but now we're facing the possibility that cheerleading isn't enough and we don't have a script for this.
