I have a friend who was told, on Monday, that her breast
cancer has spread throughout her bones. We work together in
an office with 6 other women. When my friend told us what
her doctor found, she called us all together and asked us if
any one of us knew of any women who has survived breast
cancer after it has spread like this. None of us knew anyone.

My friend would be so inspired to speake to just one
woman who has gone through the treatment and come out the
otherside with time.

I did not tell her that I am searching for this because Iam
afraid I will not find anyone.

All the women in my office are feeling quite vulnerable
and inadequet. We want only to be supportive yet we are not sure
how to do this.

My friend has cancelled a trip which she had always dreamed
of taking so she can start the treatment. She is 74
years old. We don't know what to say.

Does anyone know a survivor of breast cancer that has
spread to the bone?
