I posted last month about my friend who is going through treatment. I will be staying with her next weekend and just need to know the best way to act. Let me explain as that sounds shallow...

I spoke with my friend's sister today who told me my friend was depressed, short tempered, etc. She is over halfway done her treatment, has all the mouth sores and pain from radiation/chemo and is now hospitalized as she spiked a fever and they think it is an infection coming from her port. She is currently eating through a stomach tube due to the soreness of her mouth.

This is all way more than I could ever imagine having to deal with and my heart aches for her. If she is truly depressed, should I push her to seek medication for it? What will help her? I so believe that attitude is half of the cancer battle and I hate to see her losing hope, because the chemo is so physically and emotionally draining for her.

Thank you all for listening and being so helpful. I don't think my friend has ventured here, but I find you all a wealth of valuable information and support.
