Re: Devastated
I think just letting her know that you are there for her is good. Since you had been drifting apart over the last few months, I would make sure that I call her regularly to check in and let her know I was thinking about her.
I will send some  her way... and yours!

Re: Devastated
I'm so sorry!  When my MIL was diagnosed with breast cancer 7 years ago (she will be cancer free for 6 years in October), it was hard. Just be there for your friend. You don't know how she's going to react, and she may need you there to talk about her fears, or just to be positive for her. She may just want a distraction and to not talk about it at all. The best thing is for you to be flexible and just see how she is the next time you see her.

Re: Devastated
My best friend went through it too. Luckily it was caught early.
My friend didn't want the sorry looks or me to be weepy. She needed someone to joke with about how fabulous she'd look in a hat, plot how her parents would escape the country with her daughter so the absent ex-husband didn't get her, & what kind obligations she could use the cancer card to get out...which is exactly what I did.

Re: Devastated
Oh, that's soo hard.
Try to stay positive and just keep things as normal as possible. I'm sure she is looking forward to getting together with you.
Stay strong for her!
Smile!
Cry in the car on the way home. Not in front of her.
Unfortunately, I did that often when my someone close to me was sick with cancer.
So sorry

Same here. We had a lot of talks about what we would do together "once this whole thing is over" -- the implication being that this was just a bump in the road, a disease she had to kick so we could get on with our lives.
She had a double masectomy, and we threw a huge party to celebrate her new boobs. 
Best wishes for your friend.

Re: Devastated
I'm so sorry to hear this. She's so young!!
IMO, I would just be weepy, get it out of your system and then move on and be there for her to take her mind off of it (if that's even possible). Help her to stay positive bc I truly believe being positive helps in the recovery.
Many many for her.

Re: Devastated
First, big .
Don't be hard on yourself. Everyone's friendship experiences high and low tide. You had no way of knowing she would receive such a diagnosis when you felt the two of you were drifting. You love her as evidenced by your response to what she's facing.
I pray it was caught early, and if it was, I pray that she will seek aggressive treatment and be fully and completely healed.

ITA! She is going to want her friends to help her remain positive and let her know that with their help, she will beat this. She is not going to want to see pity in your eyes - I know, easier said than done but try hard for her sake
I hope she is okay
