My best friends mom has cancer
Hey,
last night my best friend called my cell phone at around 10 and told me that her mom has colon cancer. When I heard this i started crying because I know my friend and her mom are really close.
So my question is, what can I say to my friend? I mean i dont really even know how to react to this, its one of those things you never think will happen to you. Does anyone know what the chances that her mom will die are? Thank you so much

Let her know that you are always there for her if she needs to talk, and then drop it. Don't try too hard to be cheerful, but now is a good time to be really nice to her- buy her little gifts,bring over food if her mom is having a bad day, call her "just because". Also do not tell anyone else without asking her- not even your parents. I don't know the specific statistics but cancer is a lot more curable these days so she has at least has a chance, and sometimes that's all someone needs.

Three of my really close friends, all there parents have different types of cancer. One had skin cancer, one had breast cancer, & the other one has some weird kind. This one boy I knew had cancer too. Actually, he was my best friend.. but anyways..
The one that had skin cancer, she had surgery, they got rid of it & shes fine now.
The one with brest cancer, they got rid of it too.
The one with the weird kind, is fighting it still. Hes had it before & it went away. Were hoping it will too again.
The one boy I knew, got cancer & died.
Theres probaly a slim chance her mom will die. It depends how serious it is. If your religios at all, pray for her. Just show your friend, you care & that your there for her. Don't start asking her a bunch of questions, it may make it worse. Just listen to her. & be supportive.
I hope it all works out! kbye

Heyy
First, I'm sooo sorry about your friends mom.
Second, I know what it feels like 2 know that your friend's parents or relatives have a disease...believe me, its hard. however, you could cheer up your friend in a lot of ways...go over to her house and make something for her mom. You could do something special to get your friends mind off of her mom. Also let her know that you'll always be there for her.

Hey,
I myself have dealt with my friend's parent having cancer and I know how hard it can be on a person. But all he/she really needs is to know that you are there for her no matter how she feels. So let her know!

Her survival will depend on how soon it was found for one thing. How far it has progressed. That may be something even she doesn't know yet.
The very best thing you can do for your friend is to tell her that you are there for her if she needs to talk. If she needs a shoulder to cry on. Just be there, that's about all you can do.
Hope all goes well for your friend. :)
