The other night, my friend B called, she is also a breast cancer survivor and who was instrumental in keeping me sane while I had chemotherapy. She is one of the good things that happened during my battle against breast cancer. We compared notes, boosted each other's morale and we both can relate about everything that happened to us during that difficult time.
We've kept in touch every now and then but I never had the guts to tell her about the recent health scares I've had. I didn't want to upset her with the news and really didn't know how she would react to it.
I saw her brother recently and told him what happened to me. Shortly after that, B called me. She was surprised I never told her. I explained. B was a bit disappointed and said we are like a married couple, we should be there for each other through thick and thin. I was wrong, she was a lot tougher and stronger than I thought.
Anyway, I'm glad we talked and also glad that she knows about it. We hardly see each other and yet she is one of the closest friends I've ever had. It is hard to find friends like her but she is a true friend indeed.
