The best thing she did for me was picking up my 3 kids and taking them out to the park, the zoo, McDonald's, and just out of the house! If your friend has breast cancer, try and look for practical things to help her. The last thing she wants to think about is cleaning the house or filling the tank with gas! Millie Hi Laurie,

Do not brush death aside as an impossibility or as pure negativity. The cancer sufferer has valid concerns that need to be dealt with. Confronting mortality is one of them. I found that discussing openly one's mortality is therapeutic.
