Let her know that you're sorry this happened to her and that you hope she gets better. Then, occassionally ask her how her treatment is coming along.. show you're concerned.

Give her a teddy-bear or something cute.
Just do little things and remind her your always there for her, she'll be fine. [ BrittyP5's advice column | Ask BrittyP5 A Question ]

But look, you really need to let your friend know that you're there for her if she needs you & I'll bet she's scared even if she doesnt admit it. She may need to talk to you & just talk with her about it because maybe she wants to talk about it & if she doesnt, she'll tell you she doesnt. But I really hope she gets better, but just talk with her about it.

do not care. Just tell her that you will always be there for her, and that everything will be okay. Be optimistic about the situation.
xoMarisox answered Tuesday February 21 2006, 7:06 pm: Tell her she can get through it and that you are always here for her. Tell her she can tell you anything. Cry in private and don't be all omg I'm soooo sorry. Some people don't like to hear that! Bring her a teddy bear or something that shows that you care.
