8. The best you can do for her is to be there for her...

Don't talk about the cancer, unless she wants too, make her dinner, sit w/ her, listen to her, just be there for her. I was diagnosed at the age of 28 and have been cancer for 13 years...I've had a double mastectomy and am thrilled to be alive. Good luck to your friend.

BTW - ask her family to call 1-800-4-cancer and ask them for the most update to date medical treatment for breast cancer - since you're not family they won't send you the information. It will tell her what is the most current treatment for her type of cancer.
