What to say to your friend who found a lump in their breast


These scripts should serve as a guide for tough, trying, and tremendous life moments.

We’re here to support you in supporting your people. We’re proud of you. And we’ve got you.

Here’s what to say when you don’t know what to say.


I know that you're scared and thinking of all of the worst-case scenarios right now. Recognize the best-case scenarios, too. Remember that early detection is key, so you're already one step ahead. Whatever the outcome, we will face it together and take it one step at a time. I'm always here to lend a shoulder to cry on, to nudge you to drink your water, to hug you, and to remind you to get off Google. I love you lots, and you’re not alone in this worry.


Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
