Dear Dr. Grief, I will be taking care of a close friend next week who will be recovering from a double mastectomy surgery. She is having the surgery tomorrow and I will be the second shift of friends coming to take care of her. I live in Boston and she lives in Atlanta. Anyway, I was wondering what might be good for me to know or expect in taking care of her needs. Any suggestions on what I should read before I assume this role as her care taker? Any specific websites to check out. I have looked at some. I have a family history of breast cancer, so I have seen my mother and sister deal with this disease many years ago when I was younger, but now I will be a temporary care taker and would like to help my friend as much as possible. Thanks, Sheila
