It's perfectly understandable how friends will react when someone they care about is sad. They want to help however they can. It's nice how they want to take you out for a "fun day", they are probably trying to cheer you up (But make sure it doesn't turn into an interrogation from them to get you to spill anything). You have to really say something about the matter though. You have to tell them it's personal, you really don't/ can't say anything. Even though it may seem harsh, it's not about you or them, it's about your friend who is diagnosed. If she doesn't want you to say anything, don't. Even tell them that (but don't get too specific). Again, they don't have to be in every aspect of your life.
