Number One: LISTEN to them.. their fears and concerns.

Let them talk, cry, even let them scream if they need to.

I'ts the "Why Me Syndrome.'

It's sometimes a long and scary journey.

Be there emotionally and physically for them.

Always acknowledge their feelings.

Never forget them, keep in touch with them. Know that they

are not alone, anytime, anyday. Be available!!!

Go with them to support groups.

LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN...IS SO IMPORTANT.

Helping them go thru the stage of denial and acceptance that they have breast cancer.Early detection good prognosis. Lump usually is aspirated by needle biopsy to check if its benign or malignant.Then if it is benign , surgery called lumpectomy will be performed.If malignant, modality of treatment like chemo and radiation will be done. You can also let them joined breast cancer support groups. You tell them that their hair will grow back after the chemo. As early before the chemo starts , introduced to them wigs that fit their style ,curves and most of all the care and support of their family is highly needed.

Both are incorrect. We don't say "is died". The be verb 'is' cannot be used with died in this way. This kind of sentence - be + past participle - is a passive sentence and died cannot be used in passive sentences.
