Friend advice, might have cancer and/or heart problems.?

My friend has an emotionally abusive Mom, how do I know this? Her Mom does the exact same stuff as mine did/does. She now has confessed that she has been having heart problems. She told me that she has blacked out because her heart sometimes doesn't let her breathe right. And they have found a lump until her arm. (She has doctors appointments the rest of the week, so that is taken care of).

We never got along when we were preteen-teenagers but now that I have mellowed out (from getting married, having kids) and she has mellowed we have become good friends. I am worried about her and I want to know how I can best support her.

Cancer hits really close to home, both of my Grandmothers and a really close (adult) friend have all died from it. And my Father keeps getting skin cancer (he works out in the sun a lot).

I am scared for her. And I couldn't bare to loose her. I don't want to make her feel "sick" or that I am "worried" or that I look at/treat her any differently.

Hi there, I can understand the mother part as well my mother said to my sister when she found out I had cancer was "I wish she was dead" and then " how much is this going to cost me"
needless to say I have no contact with her, but my older sister is there all they way for me. I hope the lump in the arm is just a cyst. And the heart anxiety. But if it is cancer you just have to be there for her and please don't give her trite answers like it's going to okay" or fight this hard etc. I have invasive stge 3 cancer and when I here that it drives me crazy. I just want to hear I"m sorry it's unfair, I love you and will help you. And be sure to help her as much as you can even if she says she's fine and can handle things. That's what I did and my older sister just bulldozed in with boost and food, and time with her. She just helps and I don't have to ask because it's so hard. We talk and talk and always make sure to laugh because I need that now more than anything else. As far as mother I forgive her now, she's getting old and confused and I have another sister manipulating her. Just be there. Good luck. Oh yeah my sister drives two hours for just about every test and surgury and now I honestly don't how I could have gone through it all with out her. Good luck and prayers all around But please remember to laugh SO IMPORTANT
