tell me everything about helping a friend with (I can't type it)

[Mitchy1nge]

with a rare and aggressive sort of cancer

so far I know that crying is not especially helpful but there must be things I CAN do?

[Mitchy1nge]

I don't know, they say they can't get rid of the cancer so that's obviously not what anyone wanted to hear after all that chemo and so soon after a horrible operation

but she is like most people I suppose, getting on with the things she can do something about and radiotherapy should help to limit or slow the spread of all the bits of cancer that are still there

don't know why had started to think it might all be ok after surgery, just hear it so often 'everything will be ok' it begins to feel true

I'm sorry to hear that things are very difficult for your friend. Cancer is a bastard disease. There seems to be birhyme it reason for who it attacks, who reacts positively to treatment and who doesn't. My beautiful, funny, intelligent, gentle 18 year old son is fast losing his battle with a brain tumour. The choices you face whether to have treatment or not are really not choices at all. It's not fair at all.

All we can really do is be there for our loved ones.

That is truly crappy.

You are a wonderful true friend.

[minmooch]

Birhyme it reason? No rhyme or reason.

[Mitchy1nge]

minmooch, wish that wasn't happening to your son

but thanks both
