my friend has been detected cancer ayear ago.so i assume that she must be in the first stage of cancer.

so i want to know what caused it,the symptons,precautions,how she should handle it.

also since she has been detected cancer she is currently in a state that she thinks she doesnt have much time .so she wants to live in her prsent.as so she is travelling a lot from one city to another by filght to meet her bf.also drinking alcohol and having a fun time.she is not having any hairloss and her weight is okay.

so i am also confused.it has beeen over a year.shouldnt she handle herself carefully.i havent asked what her doctors said as she clearly avoids that question.so please help.

    Hi coolchic ..... welcome to the forum. I have noticed that you have asked this question 3 times now and it really would be difficult for anyone but your friend to give you an answer as she is the only person who would know her disease type, her treatment plan and what stage of cancer she had when first diagnosed. She clearly has chosen not to share this information with all of her friends and I guess you just have to respect her decision on that. Not all drugs cause hair loss or weight deterioration and it is lovely that she is still able to live 'normally'.

    My advice would be to support her in enjoying life while she can and make as many happy memories together as possible. I am sure she would appreciate that more than anything. x

    May be worth your while ringing the nurses here on the site on Tuesday. Their number is on this page and is free to call. Best wishes.
