One of the most important ways to support this friend is to not forget about her. She will have tons of people step forward to support her during the first months and year of her fight against cancer. But as time goes on people around her begin to tire and while interest for her well fare may still be there . . most people go on with their lives. And her struggle is forgotten. Don't forget her. Don't forget what she is going through every single day. That would be the best support and the best way to show her you care. Stay dedicated for as long as it takes.
Peace.

This is hard to do when you do not have the same problem. But l guess to just be there to listen all hours of the day and night. Go with her to her Doctors and treatment but never pity that person. She needs to talk to people in the same condition. l had breast cancer and that was twenty years ago .If you copy this for her and then she can see there are people still living after having cancer. The word cancer sounds like a death notice. So she needs to keep in touch with people like the ones who went Thur it all.

Keep a positive attitude in her presence. If she must rec. chemo and/or radiation, offer to drive her or just go along for moral support. If u cook and she has family, cook extra and take to her home. If she becomes ill from treatments and u have the time, make her food she likes to keep up her appetite and strength. If ur Christians, pray together and ask friends to do the same. Let her know ur there for her as long as she needs u. Don`t just say, "let me know if u need anything" she may be hesitant about asking. Volunteer ur help. She`ll remember ur kindness, always.

breast CA is one of the preventable, and curable kind of cancer, so if it has been diagnosed early, she may undergo mastectomy or the removable of the mass, and chemotherapeutic drugs. these may cause a lot of side effects, and the condition itself may affect your friend a lot,
supportive therapy is the best thing that you can give her. this is the best time to show her your love and care since she can be in a lot of pain, stress and depression....
hope she gets better soon....

Yes, you can tell her to read a positive book about who ever free from cancer . For example: "Cancer Battle Plan" by Anne E Frahm, "Killing Cancer" story by Jason Winters. or etc.
I have know the official website of Jason Winters on : www.sirjasonwinters.com . Please surf this website and I hope it may help her.

sounds like you're a truly great friend. mainly just listen to her. if she needs someone to talk to, be there. if she needs to be alone, back away and let her know you're there when she needs you. if she needs to get away from it all, take her to a movie or make her a nice dinner. most of all, treat her the same way you did before she got cancer.

Be an active listener and ask her for example "what can I do for you - I have thursday off".
If she needs to go to the Dr. ask do you want me to go with you.?
