" Just talk to her even when she doesn't want to talk. Keep her positive and focus on fighting b/c she is worth the fight to be here. There is too much to see and learn... When she goes for treatments, go with her, meet people who still here and fighting this disease. It helps to hear other peoples stories, especially when they are still alive to share them. Be there and call her and let her know that she can't get rid of you. Don't look scared, keep her spirits up and make her laugh, it's the best medicine. "
