Good thing: saying simply 'I'm sorry. If you need anything let me know.'
Bad thing: 'My aunt/cousin/mother in law/coworker had brain/breast/lung/toe cancer and s/he beat it/died/suffered/ was a miracle from God.
Shut up. It's not about you. Just say 'Sorry' or 'Bummer' or 'Wow'.
The rest is self serving and makes YOU the focus. We have enough to deal with to worry about your shit. Or to even say 'Oh, wow, sorry...about... YOU...'
