Answers:
my best advice is to just be there for her. its going to be tough when she gets the diagnosis. make sure u show her that u will stand by her and listen to everything no matter what. b there and listen. get as involved as you can and ask her questions. ask how she's doing and just be there for her. it will make u both feel better knowing that you have each other to talk to. its important that you stay postive with her, even when you may think its the worst. even a little glimpse of false hope is worth having. hope is hope and it keeps people fighting. also, make her laugh. that has really helped me through my tough times. laughter really is the best medicine. it keeps people feeling good mentally which is important when they need to get through hard times. it gets there mind off of things and refreshes them mentally. even if u feel like jello, its important you try and stay strong. it may not be easy, but i kno you'll be able to do it :). try showing her pictures of old times or giv her something to laugh about. dont think about all the bad things. stay positive, i know it must b easier said than done, but things happen for good reasons. keep telling yourself that she will get better. make yourself and her believe it with every ounce of faith you have and it may definetly work. most importantly, just be there for her, show her that there's hope and NEVER break down. it'll b tough, but keep faith.
i really hope she gets better. she must be very happy and fortunate to hav someone like you who cares so much about her! remember to stay strong, things will work out for the better. stay positive and as happy as you can both be. you both will get through this, just live ur lives as happily as you can!! i'll keep praying for you guys!! keep ur chin up, it'll b okay! :)
best wishes and much luck!!
