The value of life..

Finding out a close childhood friend has cancer has been a real shock. 

It's really saddened me as if my own existance is in jeopardy.  I have been trying to think of all the ways to change it but I don't know what to do.

A few weeks ago she found a small lump in her breast.  Straight into surgery where they removed a 9mm quick growing cancer and some lymph nodes.  The lymph nodes were tested and luckily came back negative.  She's been told there are no guarantees that this aggressive cancer has not spread to other parts of her body and have recommended she do radiation, chemotherapy and take medication for five years to combat this disease.  She has expressed her concerns about doing this especially possible side effects like early onset of menopause.  It's a lot to take in when your only 35. 

She has decided to do natural therapy. 

I don't know what to think or say.  I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs, no please no, do the treatment please do this because this could change the destiny of her entire life, her existance, her boys.   My dear friend, please think this over wisely.

Poor friend.
