So sorry @majorcatfish!!!
As others have said, it's terrible to feel helpless when someone you care about is suffering (no matter what the cause of that suffering). Just having a good friend that she can rely on will be a comfort to her.

(if that 'go fund me' site gets going, will you give us a link?)

Major, I know she will get all sorts of "helpful suggestions" during treatment, but here's one more anyway. Lots of people find they can tolerate goat's milk during chemo, and it helps them keep their weight up, and food down. Raw goat's milk.

Go to the web and look up fat bombs. There are dozens of variety and as she gets into her chemo, some will make her retch just thinking about the ingred and some will sound tasty to her.

My sister went through chemo and came out heavier.
She said who gains weight on chemo? :confused:
That's been her lot in life, she can just smell food and put weight on.
