It’s often a sad and difficult time when you hear one of your friends have been diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s also during this time when your best friend needs your support the most.
Often we don’t know how to act around a friend with cancer, but research show that people with breast cancer are helped when they are supported by friends. Yes, it’s a sad time, but that doesn’t mean that you’re not allowed to have fun and laugh during this time. Show some extra special love and support a friend with breast cancer.
You know the saying “Laughter is the Best Medicine”?
Bring out the Trevor Noah in you and do some stand-up comedy for her. There’s nothing like a good laugh to make someone feel better, so tell her jokes. make her laugh, send her funny emails. You can even go so far as to “slip on a banana peel”. Be her breast friend.
Make time in your busy schedule to see your friend. Go over to her house, take some friendship flowers and have some coffee and cake with her. Spend time with her. Listen to her. Laugh with her and cry with her. Be the supportive shoulder she needs during this time. Don’t visit with the intention of talking about the big C and don’t compare her situation with someone else’s. Have fun during your visits. Sleep over. Be yourself.
Naturally you are going to go out of your way to make her feel special. You will deliver friendship flowers to her door, you will visit often, you will text and call her more often. You will make her favourite meals. Read her blog. Ask her if you can take care of something important on her to do list, like doing her laundry. Be her friend in deed.
