My friend recovering from breast cancer

So, the radiation initiation visitation.

My friend is dreading this as much as she did chemo and surgery (i.e. LOTS), but i'm not really sure why.... compared to those two it's a walk in the park ..I guess my next job is to convey that to her....

Anyway, her husband was unable to attend the initial meeting with the radiologist and her team, so yesterday she asked if I would come. I'm glad she did.... and I'm glad that I felt like a spare part.... She gets horribly nervous and "British" around doctors and needs an advocate with her.

I found this out when I took her to the emergency appt about her odema/swelling/?spelling/bite-me-nazis-its-friday-night and she didn't ask the questions she wanted to about what was worrying her (so i did)

But today I was all ready to do the same and didn't need to -she did great
