I got a phone call just now from a dear, close and long term girlfriend of mine. She is nearly ten years old than me but we have never really notice it and over the years have had many laughs, a few tears and a lot of fun in each others company. We clicked instantly when we meet, and have known each other since our boys were in nursery/primary school, some 15 or so years ago now.
She started the phone call off by saying the normal hello and friendly chat about the family and life but then she suddenly broke off this line of chat and said she "didn't know how to tell me something so I'll just come straight out with it!" The next line she spoke was "I have cancer in my breast" and "I'm starting a course of chemotherapy this Friday "
We chatted on the phone for over half an hour and she said she promises to call me and let me know how things are going and when she would like me to pop over and see her. She is only 10 minutes drive away from me. The lump is only a few cms big but according to the hospital and my friend (she is a trained nurse) this is fairly big. She isn't at all big busted and after removing the lump she will need to have the rest of her breast tissue removed.
Please what I need is advice on what I can do for my friend. I said I was so sorry to hear her news and that I didn't know what to say or do. I have offered help of any sort and for her to phone me at any time night or day no mater how silly or little her concern or worry is or even if she just wants a moan.
Still I feel at a loss, helpless and hopeless as to what I can do to be of some positive useful help to her and feel I need please some ideas and suggestions from all you lovely ladies as to what I can do to support and be there for her.
I don't want to call her but should I just leave things till she contacts me again? Do I send her a card or note ? What do you do for a close and dear friend who has just given told you such news?? Advice and help needed please???
Thanks in advance for your help and advice from me Debbie dbverycherry
