Be helpful & support: Be helpful & supportive. Ask if there is something you can help with. If you can, help drive her to appointments. Grocery shop or clean when she is tired. Be there, be positive & supportive. Listen if she needs someone to talk to.

There are all types of breast cancer specialists who can provide top of the line treatment for her. They are called oncologists and some of them specialize in treating breast cancer alone. Those are the most knowledgeable doctors to obtain the best possible treatment.
