Having been through my own cancer journey, when you have a friend diagnosed with the same disease you can offer so much support to them as you know exactly what they have been through. Knowing them closely also ensures that you understand how best to support them, what sort of information they need and when they need your support. You also learn a lot about yourself in this process and I am know that helping others makes you stronger. Also knowing when to be there for others and when they need their own space is also very important.
