The prognosis now is better than it has ever been. She will need a lot of support though.
Be strong and there for her!
That's the best you can do!
Is there a toiletry you can no longer buy and miss?

I feel bad for feeling bad! Someone with whom I have been friends since I was 4, but who I rarely see, has just written to say she has breast cancer. The prognosis is good but she has had quite a tough life - pregnant at 17, abandoned by the baby's father, wonderful support from her family but her son has huge learning difficulties. This has really rocked me after the news that one of my best friends and one of my husband's oldest friends both have uncurable/inoperable cancer.
I know it's not about me but I could crawl into a hole and howl!! I'm sure I will be back to normal tomorrow but at the moment it's all too much and I think it has brought home to me how fragile and precious life is, how blessed I have been and how time is never going to go backwards.
