Hi,


My best friend was just diagnosed with stage one breast cancer.  It is in both of her breasts.  She has 5 daughters from ages 11, 17, 20, 23 & 25.  She also has 5 sisters (far away).  I am not sure how to be there for her, what to say etc.  HELP!  Thanks!

Emotional support is very vital during and after the initial stages of diagnosis and treatment for a breast cancer person. So provide the best emotional support for her and this would help her feel better and recover better quickly.


I wish you all the best and pray for her speedy recovery…
