I'm a recently new follower. That's where it starts. My best friend has been diagnosed with cancer for 5 months now. 1 month ago she beat it and was back to normal. Today it had spread and was completely back. She's 15. And she is the purest soul I think I'll ever meet. Do you have any advice as to what I can do for her? What things worked with you? I'm sorry if this is too invasive and out of the blue, but u honestly don't know who else to talk to you ! I'm sorry and I wish you all the bet!
It breaks my heart to hear of anyone battling this horrific disease, but especially someone as young as your friend. Life can be truly unfair sometimes.
I’m not sure if your friend feels the same way as I do on this one, but sometimes it’s more difficult to hear the good news (cancer is gone) because with this disease it can change so quickly. As her friend I think all you can do is be there for her; which it sounds like you are. Sit with her when she needs someone and not just to hear the shitty stuff. Find moments to be the friends you were before this; laugh, joke around and find some light in all this darkness. That has been the biggest relief for me, to be surrounded by my family and friends and to laugh. So cliched, but laughter really is phenomenal medicine.
I’m not sure if talking to someone else going through it would help, but I’m here if she would ever like to talk. Good luck to both of you, I’ll hold you in my heart through this journey <3
