3 Friends Diagnosed with Breast Cancer
I just had another call today …that’s three close friends I know diagnosed with breast cancer in the past two months.
What struck me is that all of them instinctively reached out to me. I often wonder if that would’ve happened a few years ago. But over time, I’ve put together a document I now share when someone is newly diagnosed. It starts with a link to the IMA Cancer Hub and then points them to relevant guides based on their next steps.
For example, the friend I spoke to today is going with chemo and surgery, so I directed her to the Preoperative Repurposed Drugs guide. I also include books, podcasts, and trusted online communities for support and shared experiences.
It’s become something of a “starter kit”.
What would be your top thing to share with a friend who’s just been diagnosed?
A piece of advice, a resource, a perspective, I’d love to keep the list growing.
