I’ve been rewriting this topic for what seems forever. My best friend daisy was diagnosed with cancer. I’m heartbroken and I don’t know what to do anymore. She’s only nine and I thought I’d have her for longer. She has a mass cell tumor on her front arm, in her chest, and on her back leg. I’m just so sad. Anything I can do to be less sad??

Many kids survive childhood cancer, don't give up on her yet! Kids bodies are very resilient. The best way to help yourself is to support her as much as you can, visit her and play games with her to take her and your mind off things. Just like with our hammies, we don't have a lot of time with them but the time we have is awesome. Do the same for her. Just find ways to spend time together, even if its just talking over the phone and also, that way if the worst does happen, you'll have lots of good memories together. If she does make it, you'll be closer than ever. Be the friend you would want if you were sick.

 

My prayers are with you both *HUGS*

Honestly, number one tip is don't start treating her any differently. Don't try to be gentle or whatever around her. She is going to be *acutely* aware of what is going on and doesn't need everyone around her to also constantly remind her. Treat her exactly as you always would; insult her, mock each other, make jokes, *be normal*. This is the key thing: try to be as normal as you can for her. I know it's sad for you, but try to step away from that and have the best time that you can with your friend, and also let them have the best time as well - even when treatment makes them sick (if they're having it), it's really REALLY going to be important to them that everyone else treats them like normal. 

 

In terms if your being sad... really I think that following the advice i just gave to make your friend feel less bad is the same, tbh. I'm not saying "forget this awful thing and pretend it didn't happen!!1!!1!", I'm saying that you friend probably has many MANY reminders all the time of their situation, so just try to be normal for them, and for you, enjoy time with your friend. It might be that she gets through this and you just had an awesome time together, but if the worst happens, you will have the memories.

 

Also, as someone else said, childhood cancers are very often survived, so don't mourn your friend just yet!

I was right (:

my dog had cancer, my boxer, Jade.

I was only 6-8 when she died, so i didn't know i would never ever see her again, but she was our special dog. Our family dog.

Rip Jadey girl.

Did you have the mast cell tumors examined by a vet to see if they're benign or malignant? Most mast cell tumors end up being benign (not lethal) and the animal can continue life as normal.

Ok,l just seen the subforum that this is in, and would respectfully ask that you add into your first post, that Daisy is a dog and not a child. From your post and from not reading the subforum headings, it honestly sounds like your 9-year-old friend (human) is dying.  I'm not trying to belittle the sense of grief and loss of a beloved pet, but it *is* somewhat different to commenting on the possible outcomes of a 9-year-old child with cancer. As you can see from the heartfelt responses here, a number of us thought that you were talking about a person who was dying...
