    Breast cancer.
    My best friend had a breast cancer about a year ago. She tried everything. Even the herbal Japanesse medicine. About one month ago, her herbalist told her that the cancer became un-harm or slept. But when she examined her breast with specialist doctor, the cancer was still active and harm.

    Now she is trying another herbal cemo theraphy. She looks very terrible. I always told her to have a breast surgery and she always refuse. What can I do? I love her so much, I don't want something's happen to her.

    Thank you, I'm sorry, English is not my native language.

    Unfortunately the choice is hers. She is the one who has to make these choices I'm afraid. I know you must really care for your friend, but all you can do is be there for her every way you can, without imposing anything on her.

    We don't know what it means to be told you have cancer.

    I have been there with my dad, I'm sorry, I know how hurtful it is, just be strong for her and be a good friend.

    Thank you so much for your advice Krs. As my best friend, I'll do everything to keep her happy. And I'll always be there for her because she don't have any close family.

    That's a lovely attitude, be there for her, smile at her and just be a good friend as you are just doing. But choices are hers, even if she don't make the right choice in your eyes you just have to support her choice, even if it hurts.

    I wish you all the best

    Xx

    I am a breast cancer survivor and I can tell you that she just needs a friend. I will tell you that these herbs are indeed not remedies. The only cure for most is aa lastectomy or lumpectomy coupled with chemo and/or radiation.

    I am cured 10 years now.

    However, if she does not want to go that route, all you can do is stand beside her and be her friend. She will need you as it will be a long battle for her.
