Breast Cancer and Friendship

When you’re diagnosed with breast cancer, your friends will play a big part in how you deal with the treatment and emotions that follow. It could be a voice at the end of a phone in the middle of the night or a ready-made meal hand-delivered to your door, but the strength and support of your mates will mean a lot. But of course, some friends don’t know what to say, and go quiet. In this episode, Victoria speaks to women -and their friends -as they share stories of how their lives changed- but their friends love didn’t. They also talk about the friends who couldn’t cope.Brought to you by the Future Dreams Breast Cancer Charity, "And Then Came Breast Cancer" is for everyone whose lives have been touched by the disease.
