Ringing me every night throughout my treatment to check up on me.

My best friend made me a chemo prep bag, filled with all sorts of stuff he’d researched might be useful. It was really well thought out, presented and everything possible was my favourite purple colour 
Also scheduling in a time to talk every week so that I could just vent and share whatever was going on.

My dear friend deliverd me a homemade meal every 3 weeks throughout chemo and herceptin. She went miles out her way to drop off delicious meals at a time I could not be bothered to cook. It meant the world to me, it was kind and comforting. I never forget she did that at a time as was pretty shattered and fed up.

One friend has:
- Willingly taken me to most of my appointments, even though it is a very early start, a long drive and a full day at hospital…
- Taken me away for multiple weekends; relaxation, TV and books when I’m not up to much, beach or countryside walks when I have more energy…
- Listened without judging and without “trying to make things better”…
- Made me brownies, blondies and various other treats!
I couldn’t ask for a better friend x
Food orientated again …
My friend (who has a difficult adult son with autism and Aspergers, and with multiple health issues herself) drove nearly an hour to me to deliver 4 large tubs of various salads.
The time and trouble she went to, chopping so many ingredients to save me the effort when I couldn’t be bothered and didn’t have the strength, was a sign of true, unselfish friendship. Thanks, Sue
