Angle,

Your friend is lucky to have you at her side. If she is depressed it is a good idea to seek help for that.

Going through treatment is not easy and all the side effects are sometimes overwhelming. There will be days she will wonder if she can take it any more.

A Hug and your understanding can go a long ways. Sharing a few tears too.

My husband was always there for me even when he did not know what to say or do. A big hug would help me through the moment. I had days that I was so frustrated & sick I just wanted to die. These days were very hard on my husband and he needed support too. So I would have to try and forget my situation and give him some emotional support. I know that sounds strange but in a round about way it would help me as well. Go figure?

So just be your self and give the love and support you have inside you to your friend.

Take care.
Diane
