It sounds like you are hurt she took a week to tell you. I have a weird tendency to keep things to myself too. Don't want others to feel sorry for me. I can do that pretty well myself.
Things you can do: Keep on this site so you can learn what treatments might be worthwhile and push her to try different ones. Do a trial or compassionate care tykerb. Asco info will be out in Dec for all the latest and greatest. Driving and hanging out at treatments if she's open to it are good. Dinners, errands, stuff with the kids, yeah. I think she'll tell you if you're doing too much. Be there, she'll talk when she's ready.
Her world has been turned upside down. She's entered a place you can't be. She probably feels like what difference does it make if she has brain mets if all the other crap is going to kill her first? But you have also gone somewhere else as a friend. Thanks for helping her. She really needs other opinions and aggressive care
Like others have said, there's no telling how long you have. If you stick your head in the sand, it will be less. Best of luck. BB
Keep us posted. It can be beat or delayed.
