Finding out a loved one is suffering from breast cancer can be devastating and unnerving, but this is the time where good friends are needed. Support your friend by listening to her needs and giving her a gift.
Food
Give your friend a home-cooked dinner she can freeze and heat up on a day when she has no energy to cook.
Tasks
Offer to pick up the dry cleaning, take her daughter to ballet class or go grocery shopping. These tasks still have to get done, but it might be too draining for your friend.
Spa
Help your friend feel better about herself and spend time together by taking her out for a manicure and pedicure or facial.
Books and Magazines
Give her a good book or a couple magazines she can read when she is sitting in the doctor's office waiting to be seen.
Support
The best gift you can offer is support. Take your friend to her chemotherapy appointments, stop by and make tea, and call to check in on a regular basis.
