Hi Petalbug,

You sound like a good friend to have. It's been my experiancethat when cancer strikes in a family, most people like to keep as much normality in their lives as possible otherwise it seems cancer takes over everything. All I can suggest is to be guided by how your friends mood changes,if she needs a shoulder to cry on ect. Its a difficult situation and I have known several people say friends have ignored them and turned away from them because the dont know what to say or do.

Hope the little girl can be treated.

Please let us know how you get on. Brian.
