A very close freind was diagnosed with cancer nearly two years ago. We worked together for 11 years and were very close, holidays maid of honour at my wedding we have been thru loads together.
The cancer was dealt with initially. I spoke to her last in march when she had just had a ct scan and they had seen quite a few shadows. I tried to reassure her and keep her positive. It was very hard for me and she must have known it...I lost my dad, aunt and uncle to cancer and she knew all of them. I rang her after the call in march and she never picked up any of them.. i have written too and have had no response.
Deep down I knew it was bad news.
She moved address but fortunately I had the new one. She lives nearly 150 miles away so distance has kept me from going to see her. I didn't want to go for fear of her not answering the door or upsetting her.
Another freind of ours drove past her mums house last night and turned back and knocked at her door. Her dad was there... He told us what had been going on. The cancer has spread all over her body and she is in hospital. I have been distraught after having found out last night and I don't know what to do? I really want to see her and just give her a hug and let her know I care...I don't want her to die but know it is going to happen. what do i do? Do I go to the hospital. Her dad told us where she is but said he was not sure that he should have been telling us what was going on.. He said he did not ubnderstand why the strong link we had was broken..
What do I do??? I need advice.
