My bestfriend has breast cancer....

[Coathanger]

Hi.

I don't come on here as much I used to, but I knwo I can count on MN when I need some advice.

My best friend, who is 32 years old, fit, healthy etc, was diagnosed yesterday with Grade 3 breast cancer. She has had a lump for a long time....years, but last year the consultant told her it was nothing, although he carried out no tests to confirm it. 1 year on, and her prognosis hinges on a bone scan and a CT to assess the spread of the cancer.

She has 2 very young children, too, and the thought of the affect on them is unbearable.

Anyway, I am not very knowledgable about this kind of thing, I mean I check myself etc, and know the risks, but I don't know very much about the disease. So, if anyone has any advice or knowledge, perhaps you could help me

Thanks

I'm so sorry - I know how hard it is to lose a parent you love.

You must have given your mum so much comfort over the past weeks - I bet she knew just how lucky she was to have a daughter who cared so much.

Look after your Dad - and yourself too.

Thanks Robinpud.

It has been so quick, but she is now in no pain.

I do miss her so much though. Going to go to her grave again today for a chat with her.
