Well, I think if you can word it so that you are telling her what happened to you and how much you are glad you recieved treatment and the benefits it might help. It seems to me that people respond better if they think you are talking about your own problems than if they think you are talking to them about theirs. I think if you mentioned that you are concerned about her and would like to help if she is interested than it would probably be well recieved. If not, at least in the future if things go sour she will know where to turn. She is lucky to have such a caring cousin. I hope it goes well, good luck!
