Hi.I had this situation with one of my closest friends 2 years ago.We had goneout for a meal plus OHs when I said I had found a lump in my breast and she said she had as well.Mine was nothing but in fact she had 2 lumps, each with a different form.If I were you I would just call,perhaps with a small bunch of flowers or chocs and say" i'm not stopping .I just want to give you a hug".I did phone a lot and I found that if she didn't want to talk it either went into ansaphone or her husband made an excuse.She had surgery and before she went into hospital I made her up a goody bag with lots of little things in (a nice Crabtrree and Evelyn soap,scented tissues,a little craft kit,magazines etc.)That was 2 years ago.My friend lost all her hair but it has now fully grown again(she had a fantastic wig when was hairless).She finished the main treatment and is just on Tamoxofen.3weeks ago she had a mamogram and it was clear.Breast cancer these days is much more treatable.Keep your fingers crossed for me.I had my routinemammogram last Friday and now have to wait 2-3 weeks for the result.Hope this helps.barbara
