BF 5 year old daughter

I just found out this am that my bf 5 year old daughter Taylor has lymphoma. I was there when she was born. She is only 7 weeks older than my son.
She is having a bone marrow biopsy tomorrow to determine the specifics.
I just don't know what to do for them. I sent her a note just saying that I am here for her. I know she has to be strong for her family... but I want to be strong for HER. If she needs to cry or scream or whatever, day or night, to call me.
I don't know what else to do. I can't say I know how you're feeling... because I don't.
I have been visiting the bereavement & healing boards for a couple months now because I lost my mom to cancer in July. I found this board this morning...
I feel so bad for them... but I also am dealing with my own fears. I lost my uncle to cancer last October - he gave me away when I got married. Then my mom. We found out in April she had cancer and two months and twenty-two days later she was gone. now this. I am just terrified because so much really is not in our control in this life. You can't stop these things from happening.
I am really, truly not trying to sound selfish. But I am really freaking out.
Does anyone else relate? how are you dealing with it?

Welcome to the board, Sheri.
Hello Sheri
I am so very sorry that your friend's dd has cancer.
Taylor has stage II lymphoblastic non-hodgkins lymphoma.
Hi Sheri
I love the story of the kids in the closet.
Thanks for the links!
Sheri,
{{Hugs}} to you and prayers to your friend and her precious daughter. I cannot imagine the pain she must feel - having watched too many St. Jude marathons, childhood cancer
