I'm too much worried about My friend BC.

[ediwn]

Dear All, My friend had BC, She was finished her second Chemo. Now she is totally unwell, all time tired, no interest to talk to people and she doesn't eat food as well. How can i support her, how can I advised her and help her?. In between chemo time how way i behave to her? Is it possible to teach meditation to her,

Please advice

I was just the same ... slept when tired .. All I drank was was a cordial of ginger & lemongrass and just ate rich tea biscuits ... She will find a drink she can tolerate same with the food ... As a friend , don't treat her any differently than you did before , support and encourage .. And just being there will mean more than you will ever know ... X

I was luckily well with cheno but need to eat a good diet and drink I found fennel tea good , hot leather with slices of lemon infused refreshing and try smoothies particular my with banana , advocadi Apple and beetroot and berries good any inflammatory and also keeps immune system boosted . Try reading about mindfulness and this helps focus and relax .

Try and encourage some exercise if only a short walk and fresh air . Listening to music.

Turmeric capsules a must and vitamin D will help

Can she can go on forums who are going through treatment I do diary as awaiting surgery just finished cheno 5 weeks ago . Local one to me chemogiftbags take care maggie just a be there and listen and support xxx

Hi good friend X everyone is different and their wants and needs differ X I know when I had chemo some days I wanted to be quiet and left alone X then other times I needed my friends and feel loved X I think you should let your friend do what she needs and be there when she feels ready for company X hope that helps

As others have said we all have different experiences and your friend too will want and need different things at different times. Accept how she feels, support her when she wants support but just being there at the end of the phone etc. will be a comfort. If you stay positive and remind her of her progress, for example at the end of each round of chemo, that may help too. X
