There are no right things to say. The best advice I can give you is be there and just listen. No matter what she says just listen don't tell her not to say things that she feels she needs to get off her chest. She will have stages where she thinks negative and talk about her feels of if setjing goes wrong iit is only natural. She will need to sometimes say these things out loud. It does not mean she is giving up or doesn't believe she can't beat it. I am 29 and have been fighting breast cancer for a year now. The hardest thing I have found is the thought I won't be there for my children, I can not shine the thought of not being able to of had them at all. My thoughts and preys ate with your friend. The nest advice I can give you is sometimes just hold your friend, hug her she may tell you to go away or not to be silly bit you will find that if you no and just hold her for a while sometimes like 1/2 hour she will break and that is good for her and she will thank you at the end of her journey for being there even when she thought she didn't need it.

I am so sorry that your family is going through this. I am 28 and fighting breast cancer. It is very hard for young people to be fighting this horrible disease. I know I am 10 years older than your daughter but if there is any way I can help just let me know. I live in sydney. At such a young age all we want is our mums because you are the ones that make us feel safe. We feel that we are alone and our friends and family don't understand what we are going through so we push them away also it scares us of what we could lose. We don't understand why us and we feel that their is no one who truly understands because everyone that is involved in support for cancer are so much older than us. I have met a two more young people which are also fighting in their early twenties and I am sure they will help to if they can. I can not understand what you are going through as a mum that has a daughter so sick but all I can say is just be her mum. Hold her and even if she pushes away just keep her tight it is what she needs. If I can help in any way let me know. There is support out there and now you need it. My preyers are with your daughter and family. ... View more
