Friend and Breast Cancer
A friend of mine just admitted to me that the breast cancer that she had defeated over 15 years ago has returned. She has known about it since before Christmas but shared the news with only a people. In fact her own sons didn’t even know about it till Christmas time. She is a very private person and did not want to share with many her condition. She is going for a double mastectomy on Tuesday of this week. The cancer is only in one breast but the thought of facing the possibly of this again is too much for her. She called me to let me in on her news. News that did not really surprise me but I didn’t want to step into her space. How am I hanging this….right now I don’t know…I concerned for her…after all she is one of my best friends. I don’t know what to say so I try not to feel in the empty spaces with meaningless words. They wouldn’t do any good anyhow, but the prayers I say in those moments will. So the best thing I can do is just that pray for her! And that I will as I did for her husband who passed way almost two years ago from cancer. The subject will be keep between us, I will not share with others the information she struggles to keep quiet. As she tries to control what is going on in her life and with her body. Something that I think we all can relate too at any given moment. The most important thing is too pray for her, it is stage 3 cancer and she is afraid.
