Personalizing this further

Keep the tone light and the message short — the recipient may not have the energy to read a wall of text. Mention you're thinking of them and offer something concrete: a meal you'll drop off, a visit, a check-in next week. Avoid asking what you can do; offer a specific thing they can decline.

A short & sweet card to nephew rarely fails when you anchor it to one specific moment between you. Skip the universal lines; reach for the one only you could write.

What to avoid

Don't joke about death, hospitals, or the disease itself unless you're sure the recipient finds dark humor comforting. Don't share stories of others who had the same illness — especially not the ones who didn't recover. Don't ask intrusive questions about the diagnosis or prognosis. Don't make them feel they need to reassure you.
