To RhitBible, Your friend sounds like she is still in denial. If she has told you she has Cancer, then tell her you are there for her, should she need to talk. Don't badger her, but be there because at some point she is going to go through many feelings, including anger, frustration, depression. Tell her you are available to go to Doctors appointments with her, and be there if you can. Help her to be decisive, tell her you support her medical decisions, because she may have different options offered in the way of treatment. But most of all if she knows you know about the Cancer, then make sure she understands, that you are not going to pretend it does not exist. By hiding behind that front, she can never go forward. The support you offer, will be greatly accepted, believe me. Continue this support after surgery if that is what she needs to have. I had a total Hysterectomy, and I felt weak and needing support long after surgery. My husband was there for me. Tell her she can come through this whole ordeal. The word Cancer is the Fear Factor within itself. Tell her I am here if she ever needs to talk. What a wonderful person you are to even be there for her. I hope she realizes how lucky she is, Good Luck, Mary
