I am just after learning of some news. I girl I went to school with has cancer. I remember her well and she was a nice girl. She had cancer last year. It's a stage 4 cancer and the doctors made a decision to stop the chemo. I was told it's not looking good.

I am so upset at this news. It's been years since we've seen each other but still it's hit me. She's still so young at 37. I don't know what kind of cancer it is. It's not fair.

I had some of the most blackest thoughts during the week for myself. My cousin commited suicide last year. I had a long and stressful week and my thoughts were on the line of

I'm waiting on biopsy results myself and I thought - It wouldn't be any harm if a cancer diagnosis was returned to me and I might be able to get a break then.

It's just all so wrong. There's a lady lying up in bed in hospital who probably doesn't want to be there and here I am begging for a break from this world.

I'm sorry you feel so low. I expect you are still grieving for your cousin, and now the devastating news about your friend has hit you on top of that - plus you are coping with the stress of waiting for your biopsy results.

Do you have any support in real life? Have you thought about counselling? Flowers

That thing crosses my mind all the time about how other people have it so much worse.

If I had 1 wish we would rid the world of cancer and any other unbearable illnesses.

My mum had cancer a few years ago and we know all to well the hold it has on a family.
