Breast cancer

| By all means she should tell her doctor what she found!! Why would she not??? What if it's a blood clot and not cancer? It could kill if it breaks loose, even a bit and travel someplace important, like her heart, lung, brain. Positive thought, her lymph system is cleaning out all the dead cancer cells and that's what's she's feeling. How would she get good news unless she brings it up? I hope she takes on a more straightforward approach to her cancer, "I will kill every last cancer cell...those boogers!" I realize she is very afraid, but this is not the time or place to be hiding anything! |

| I agree with Ron, Susan and Lori. Why in heavens name would she NOT tell her doctor? Please have a straightforward talk with your friend: " am concerned about you and what you are going through. It is important for you to tell your doctor everything that is happening with your body." If you can, volunteer to go with your friend to the doctor when she talks to him/her. You are a good friend to help. I will keep you and your friend in my prayers during this difficult time. |
| Where do I began. I work with this person, she is a part time employee who "must" work as she is the sole provider. She lost her full time job last Feb. she had been working 2 jobs most of her life just to make ends meet. She has 2 grown children that sadly are NO help. Half of her pay check goes to cover her medical insurance which leaves her fairly broke. The first round of chemo has been very difficult and she doesn't seem to have any fight in her. She is very emotional, can't sleep, isn't eating and has treated for dehydration twice in the past 2 weeks. She really has little to no family support. She isn't letting friends help either. I have been VERY pushy. WE work together 4 days a week and I always bring her lunch and something to take home. I call her at least once a day to check on her and offer to take her to the Drs. So far she has declined that offer. She is such a good person with a heart of gold. This truly breaks my heart. We want to do something for her at work to help with expense but so far she is totally against it. She is very stubborn and has always taken pride in being able to provide for herself. I beg her to let us do more and pay it forward when she is better, some days I think I'm making progress. Not only are her children no help, her 27 yr. old daughter lives at home and doesn't drive and still expects her mother to do everything for HER. This makes me sick. Her own daughter won't even go to the dr. with her because her appointments are too early. I'll never understand. Thanks for letting me vent. |
| You're welcome, and THANK YOU for being a nice human being. |
| You are a true friend (they do the hard stuff) not a fair weather friend. Thankyou for caring. |
