12. Be Specific
Try to avoid stopping at a vague Let me know if you need anything. Find non-invasive ways to help out, like dropping off her favorite casserole. Offer to do her grocery shopping or pick up her child from school. Don’t just vaguely wave your support flag.

13. Stay Cool
Don’t let breast cancer take away what’s great about your relationship. Being sensitive doesn’t mean you need to tip-toe around her or start treating her as though she’s breakable. Normalcy is a huge relief during times like this. If you always liked to watch sappy movies and eat ice cream out of the carton together, there is no reason to stop.
