Hey, Babe --
It depends a lot for me. For many people, I would probably just offer my ear, and possibly ask if they've considered alternatives.
For some special people, I think I would go farther -- I'd include some information about what has kept me from choosing that option, and a few reminders of other times they've felt this way. I'd also include a reminder about how they've felt when they found a drug cocktail that helped, when the therapy helped, and so on.
And, in some cases, I'd also try to be more communicative via email. That's only for very special people, though...
