Can anyone who has had chemo or breast cancer answer this please ?

My best friend has breast cancer and definitely needs chemotherapy ?
before they do anything else. they said neoadjunct therapy.
I want to be very helpful and supportive of her because she was just divorced and doesnt have alot of family and we been lifelong best friends.
I don't even mind doing nurse duties for her but how sick does chemo make woman ?
We are both in our 30's and this is sad.
I don't know what stage her cancer is yet. She is still in tests for staging.

My boyfriend had chemo, and I know it is very hard. He was so sick, it was horrible. He would have no energy and he would lie in his bed all day long and watch movies. Chemo makes you vomit a lot, lack of energy and it just takes up all your energy. Just be there for her to talk to, and just be a shoulder for her to cry on and I am sure she would appreciate it. Maybe watch a movie with her , something to try and change her mind. best of luck to your friend.

I'm 48 and going through breast cancer and doing just fine. chemo wasn't that bad. it never made me sick. tell her to contact yme.com as it's an organiztion for breast cancer and they can help her through this.
