Where it is real F ing COLD
I havent posted many pics in the past couple months mainly because I am a follower, but my best friend's wife has been fighting through cancer for 6 years and and about 2 months ago she was given 2 - 3months... She is only 37. We have had so many fun times together and now they are all I can think about. I can hold it in sometimes but when my friend and i drink we can only hug each other and embrace because he has finally surcombed to the fact of her impeding death.. It is kiilling him iside and me too. I hold him and like he is my brother. I am a registered nurse and have become accostomed to this but fucking life isn't fair.. Nobody ever deserves this fucking bullshit. Its all fucked. Never know when the last day I will see her, but I go see her every day. She is such a great lady.. We would go out and have the greatest times or go to their house and tell great stories.. She is a beautiful lady that would be for you anytiimne. They have always been there for me like when my dad died.. I feel so helpless but I am stilll there for them... Some friends avoid it because they dont know what to do or say. So many great experiences and times.. Its just so hard and their is nothing anyone can do

The terrible truth is that everyone is affected by this bullshit, young, middle aged or old. We all know someboday and I bet we all know somebody the age of 40 that has surcombed to the disease, it just hits so much harder with her than when my grandma died with it at 83. She still keeps her head up and smiles. She says well just think about the little kids that die from this that never lived to my age and never had the experiences that I have had. Always finding a silver lining.

bleeding purple...just posted in Va Nurses ....cancer does suck....my mom has 3 tumors wrapped aroung her colon,gall bladder and liver...they were going to operate 3 weeks ago but the tumor grew and its so big...we moved her to a rehab after leaving Columbia Presb. She hasn't felt to much pain yet buts its coming anyday...they gave her 3-6 months but my brother-in law who is a doctor and the head of Univ of Miami hospital told us the tumor has grown so fast we are in the 2nd-3rd month right now..today we are meeting with hospice.My mom is 89 and when I see someone like your friend who is 37 it doesn't seem fair. My prayers and thoughts are with you and Va's mom..

God bless.

bleeding purple-so very sorry to hear of your friend and her battle with cancer. I also hate cancer with all my heart. I understand your pain and thoughts all to well. Lost my dad last Wednesday, he was diagnosed in 97 and given 2 years to live. 7 lines of chemotherapy later and numerous trials still lost the battle. Still completely in a fog myself, so I know exactly how you feel. Unfortunately there are no easy or fair solutions. I will definitely pray for both you and your friend.

All the best. Wish I could have an answer for you given I lost my wife to it 6 months ago at 32 years of age, but I don't. It just isn't fair, and one that you will ask yourself why forever....I know I do it almost everyday. There isn't a day that goes by when I am not with my wife mentally, routinely view pictures or watch our wedding video. You know, we go through life trying to find this soulmate so to speak, appears your friend has only to lose them. Even though I don't know you or your friends situation, I feel for this. You all will be in my prayers.

As tough as most think I am mentally and physically, it broke me. For about 2 months, I drank vodka like it was water. Please be careful.

Hang in there, Man. We experienced a huge high and a huge low in a couple of days time earlier this month. Our son was born on March 2nd and a very close friend lost her battle against breast cancer two days later. She had just turned 40 last fall. Stay strong and my condolences to you and your friends.

Unfortunately early Thursday morning she slipped into unconsciousness.. Fortunately she has been resting what appears to be comfortably.. The hospice in Duluth has been great.. My friend and his family are hanging in there. We sat up talking all night long and now everyone has fallen asleep. For some reason I can't so I thought I would check out the site and check out some games today.. I have nothing better to do at the moment.. You know we knew this day was coming for a long time because the cancer always came back for over 6 years.. She would receive treatment and be cancer free for a few months and then BOOM it's back. What a tough lady, she handled the past 2 - 3 months better than anyone else.. What a fighter..
