Have a Friend or Family Member
Chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer may cause a lot of stress and boredom. Therefore, it is a good idea to have a loved one or friend nearby to encourage and support you. They may help you take notes, drive to and from the hospital, write down instructions for medications, cheer you up, and do anything that you cannot do due to weakness. Many people do not ask their friends for worrying of wasting their time or burdening them. However, they are very willing to help a friend who is really in need. Indeed, during a long appointment, you may have more time than usual to talk about stuff that you have never mentioned before. It means to be with friends during chemotherapy can be a good opportunity to improve your friendships. [2]
