In today's Dear Abby column, Abby hears from a reader who feels alone as she and her husband struggle with his terminal cancer.

Her husband was very social before his diagnosis. Now he's not heard one word from his friends. Should she call them?

Please accept my sympathy for your husband’s prognosis. This is a tragic situation, and not one that you and your husband should be facing alone. The absence of these friends may have less to do with lack of caring than an overwhelming fear of cancer and an inability to face their own mortality.

Friends alum David Schwimmer is detailing an on-set accident that happened to one of his costars. During the live taping of season 3, episode 2, "The One Where No One's Ready," Matt LeBlanc (playing Joey Tribbiani) tried to beat the late Matthew Perry (playing Chandler Bing) to an armchair — which is when the "genuinely frightening" injury occurred.

During the live taping of the show, [Matt LeBlanc] is supposed to do a kind of a pratfall, and he actually dislocated his shoulder. He went totally white, and he stood up, and I could see his shoulder was out. He looked like he was going to pass out.

David Schwimmer has recounted a “genuinely terrifying” moment while shooting an episode of Friends when his co-star Matt LeBlanc was injured and rushed to hospital. The Friends star rose to fame on the much-loved Nineties sitcom alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry and LeBlanc.
