Oh hun I am so sorry to read your news. Big hugs to you she is very lucky to have you but my advice is to look after yourself as well as being there for her. Talk to us on here and take time to process things. It's horrible, I wish I could say something more positive.

So sorry to hear your sad news Amyrose, it's really hard being away from home at times like this. I think you're already doing the best thing you can for your friend - you're staying positive and she's going to need that. Will say a little prayer for your friend x

So sorry about your friend Amy! An old school friend of mine recently passed away from liver cancer too! 29 years old, its just too sad

hi there, I hope you dont mind me adding this but thought it was worthwhile mentioning. A friend of my mil got diagnosed with liver cancer and hepititis about 2 years ago and was given 6 months. She refused to accept it and saw every specialist that she could. She ended up having chemo and then a live liver transplant. havent heard anything recently about her but she is ok and still with us for a good while. Dont want to give false hope but think it is an example of not giving up!!
I send my love to you and your friend.
