One of my friends has Cancer...

I found out yesterday that a person that I've been friends with since I was 6 has had a relapse of Brain Cancer. There's talk that she might not be able to take it this time. She first had Brain cancer when she was 5 and she made a wish through the "Make A Wish" foundation to go to Disney World. She made it through but, she lost a lot of her hair that didn't grow back all the way and some hearing loss in both ears. We are kind-of kindred spirits because I was born with mild Cerbal palsy and have walked on my tiptoes since birth. I know that they doesn't even compare to Cancer but, it's nice to have someone who doesn't judge you. She never has and I've never judged her. About seven years ago she developed tumors on her spine but, she got though it and three years ago they're were tumors in her brain again. Now, she definitely has Cancer. I'm trying to figure out how I feel about this. I want to cry but, then again I don't. She's been through so much in her life and she's the bravest person I know. The fact of losing her to something that has plagued her since she was little breaks my heart. It's just not fair! I've been listening to that song "Cancer" from My Chemical Romance which I know is not a very healthy thing to do but, I don't know...

I'm so sorry for your sad news, it's a story I know all to well I lost my dad almost 3 years ago to cancer it is a horrible thing to have to see someone suffer through. If you ever need anything feel free to message me or e-mail me, also what is her name? I will keep her in my prayers.

I will definitely thinking and praying for the both you as well. It's very hard having someone you care about so much with cancer. I lost my grandmother in May 99 to Ovarian Cancer. And then I found out last February that my aunt that I live with has Breast Cancer. She is almost through with her 3rd round of chemo and doing great. But, I definitely know what it is like. If you need anything feel free to put it out there on the board or message me. We are more than friends here, we are a small family and we are here to help each other. Best of luck with everything and be strong.
