I am not sure what to do. My Mother passed away in October from liver cancer and now my best friend is facing possible breast cancer. I am not sure if I am strong enough to go through this again.

    Samantha--I too lost my mum and have cancer--so as a cancer sufferrer i am here to tell you.As sad and hard as it is your friend needs your suppport in any way you can offer it.Be there for your friend--you can't change anything but you can be "that special person".It is awful as Leaha says--nothing you say or do will seem to be enough--but your love and support will be all that is needed!
    my thoughts are with both of you as they are to all on this site.
    reach out to your friend Samantha!
