My best friend has breast cancer and definitely needs chemotherapy ? before they do anything else. they said neoadjunct therapy. I want to be very helpful and supportive of her because she was just divorced and doesnt have alot of family and we been lifelong best friends. I don't even mind doing nurse duties for her but how sick does chemo make woman ? We are both in our 30's and this is sad. I don't know what stage her cancer is yet. She is still in tests for staging.

Chemo is very harsh on the body. She is going to get very sick. Not be able to eat or drink much and will probably lose all her hair. Chemo also makes the stomach tend to swell, so it will look like she's pregnant. She will probably lose alot of weight also. I had a friend who had breast cancer, she is 37, and she told me the best thing people did for her was to just be there. Talk to her about it, don't ignore it, remain positive and upbeat. Spend lots of time with her by getting movies. Stock her fridge with lots of non-acidic juices, popsicles, applesauce. Stuff that will be easy for her to keep down. You sound like a wonderful friend and she is very lucky to have you.
