I found out last night that my best friend has cancer. :( :crying: It has made me feel really sad. I cried last night. My friend called me and told me that my best friend has cancer. I have known my best friend since 1995. She's only 58. I hope she is able to beat the cancer. I'm trying to keep good thoughts and remember that people can survive cancer, but right now it's hard to keep that in mind. I kept hoping that the results would turn out ok. She's such a wonderful person and the news has made her friends and family so sad. :(

I'm so sorry to hear that Jen :( I will you keep you and your friend in my thoughts and prayers. I hope she can beat it too. She is very lucky to have you for a friend.

I'm so sorry, Jenny. I guess all you can do now is pray for her and be there for her. Hopefully, she'll beat it. Many women are breast cancer survivors.

:bighug:

I'm so sorry Jeny :bighug: you and your friend are in my prayers!

I am really sorry to hear this abt your friend. Having had members in my family have cancer and knowing all that it involves, I can only say be strong for your friend. My boyfriend's cousin has just beaten breast cancer so please believe that there is always hope. I will keep her in my prayers and I will pray that you will find the comfort and strength to help her. :bighug:

I'm so sorry Jenny. Your friend is in my prayers and I really hope she can beat this. :(

:( Jenny, I will pray for your friend that she will win her fight against cancer.

I just said a prayer for your friend for her healing. Do what you can to keep her spirits up.

Awww, I'm so sorry. What kind of cancer is it? So many types are being fought successfully nowadays.

My mom has a friend battling that right now. If they caught it early, her prognosis is good I bet. :)

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friend. I have relatives who have had and beat the disease.

So sorry jenny, your all in my thoughts and prayers!

:bighug:

So sorry to hear! Keep encouraging your friend and give her lots of support. Your friend is in my thoughts and prayers!

I've awfully sorry, Jenny. :( I sure hope that she will be okay. :bighug:

I'm so sorry to hear this! I will keep her in my prayers. It's going to be a scary road but with help, prayers and encouragement she will get through this. She can beat this!

Jenny, your friend can beat this thing. I promise to pray for her.

My thoughts and prayers are with her. My mom had breast cancer, thank God it was caught early. She is doing great. I pray for the same with your friend.

Very sorry to hear that, Jen. Anyone diagnosed with cancer really has an effect on families, friends or anyone who's been a part of your life. If you're friend's cancer was caught in its early stages, the chances look excellent and she'll live a normal, happy life.

I'm pulling for you, Jen. My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was caught it in its early stages in July 2003 and he's doing wonderfully well. Your friend will successfully win this fight against this disease! :)

my prayers are with you

Oh, my gosh! I somehow missed this thread being burried. It must've been during the time when my home computer was acting home. Sorry, Jenny! I wasn't ignoring you.

Anyway....I'm terribly sorry to hear about your friend. :( Hang in there....for your friend. Most of all, be there for your friend. Show her support and just be a friend to her. I find this is the best way to mentally beat any hard times she will endure during treatments and cures.

A similar situation happened with a retired co-worker/favorite computer college teacher of mine back in late 2000. I knew her four years previously in 1996 when I first had her in class. She was always my favorite teacher! Always nice and caring.

In late 2000, I learned that she found out she had cancer, and she had surgery. The surgery went pretty rocky, and I was afraid to lose her! I realized I hadn't even thanked her for being such a wonderful teacher, so when she recovered from that awful surgery, she and I kept in touch via emails. She was even touched with the caring emails I sent her. I'd tell her to stay strong and to keep her head high. I think that words like this make a world of difference to people. She came back to work in May 2001 after her chemo treatments, and then she retired in August 2002. Right now, she is busy enjoying her retired life and babysitting for her five-year-old grandson.

So, I would advise to just be a friend to her. Mental stability is always important in a person's life.
