Your friend is lucky to have you. I agree with what the other women have written. If your friend is not being treated at a cancer center that treats this disease aggressively, please get her to one ASAP. It's good that' she's on Disability She needs all her time to fight the disease and spend with her family. SSI Disability doesn't have to be permanent. As for putting her affairs in order, I had an early diagnosis (Stage I) and I did that. The word cancer made me put my affairs in order.
The first clinical tests of Herceptin were on Stage IV women like your friend, and the results were so positive that they rushed the drug through FDA approval. I hope your friend will respond to treatment and be able to get on with her life. MJO
