Guest guest Posted November 8, 2006 Report Posted November 8, 2006 Hi. I'm joining your group because a dear friend was recently diagnosed with stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma. She underwent lumpectomy (nodes were all clear) and has had her port-a-cath placed. She is due to start chemo in 2 weeks. I am her " chemo buddy, " will drive her to and from, and sit with her during treatments. Can any of you who have gone thru chemo offer me some helpful hints about what I can do to comfort/support my friend during this time? Thank you very much, Quote
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Just be there for her...Glad you are taking her to her treatments...My mom was doing that for me and then she passed away suddenly...Then some of the ladies from the church I was going to took me to the rest of my treatments...I was living alone at the time and working and had to do everything for myself...the day of the treatment someone would pick me up and bring me home and then I was on my own...
