Hi there

I have a friend who was diagnosed with stage 1 aggressive breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy, internal radiotherapy and 5 weeks of normal radiotherapy. She was then put on Zoladex for 5 years.

A few weeks after she finished Radiotherapy she told me that she was on a trial having chemotherapy. This shocked me as I thought ghe doctors were pleased with her progress and no further treatment was needed.  She told me that her blood had shown markers but they didn't know where the cancer was so they were putting her on a chemotherapy trial to try and eradicate it.

I am very worried about her for a number of reasons not least because she won't accept any help and I wondered if anyone has any advice on how to support a very independent friend?

Thank you in advance
