Very sorry to read this. Sending you a virtual hug!
I was recently diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Although each journey is personal and unique to that individual, I would advise you to talk to your friend and ask her how she would like to be supported by you.
I have felt disheartened and frustrated by how others have treated me, including close family members and friends who have totally ignored me. However, I do have a wonderful support network in situ. I just wanted to be treated the same. I am still me. Cancer does not and will never define me. But unfortunately now my diagnosis is only what others associate with me.
