Friend just diagnosed with breast cancer

[SlightAggrandising]

What should i do? She's a neighbour & friend who's a superstar. Grown up children & long retired. A card or something?

I don't want to patronise her but I want her to know I'm thinking of her.

maybe go round to hers or invite her to yours for tea/coffee and let her know your there if she needs a shoulder/ support
it's sad but theres not alot you can do

I’m a lot younger than your friend but the people who have helped me a lot are people who have done some or all of...

• remembering when clinic appointments/scans etc are and send a simple (not too emotional!) text
• given low pressure invites (like, I’ve overbought for dinner, do you fancy roast, no worries if you’ve got plans)
• offered to pick bits up from the supermarket while they’re there
• helped with pets
• talked to me like a normal person!

Oh and bonus points if they can ignore the mess when they come round!

Yes, definitely ask her round to yours for coffee or offer to go to hers if she doesn't feel like going out.

Thank you for suggestions. I'll work on it!!
