[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You were kind of thoughtless for both making light of her moms diagnosis and for dropping her when she called you out on it. [/quote]
How was OP making light of friend's mom's diagnosis?[/quote]

By implying that since it’s treatable it’s not such a crisis and doing so when this person was clearly in crisis. [/quote]

Doctors are planning chemo and radiation. Obviously treatable. Survivable long term? No. Immunotherapy has shown to help substantially, if eligible. I merely suggested she ask the oncologist today since it’s a planning session[/quote]

OP, she didn’t call her friend for medical advice. She called to grieve, to express her sadness and concern, and to receive a virtual hug. It’s actually a decent reason for someone to have a phone call be about them.

You don’t know if it’s “obviously treatable” as there are many types of lung cancer. And in any case.. treatable or not, if it’s not survivable long term, your friend has just received the news that her mother is on a long, likely painful road to death. [/quote]
