Hey! Take it easy man. Everythings gonna be ok. I know my childhood friend hasn't spoke to me in idk how long ago cause he's a lot different of a person than me. But I still carry on. You can too.

Calming down never really, well, how do you say it... WORKED FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahem... sorry.

I...I am so sorry about that. Both my aunts dies from cancer, and effected both my grandmas. I'll pray for you and your friend's family.

I know how you feel i just got back from a funeral today and my uncle has cancer and they say he can die anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 years

Yeah....I wish it didn't exist either...my mom was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer, and got her reproductive organ taken out to remove it. I may be diagnosed with it, but i'm not sure. I'll find that out soon enough, if so, than I need to get my reproductive organ cut out as well, leaving me unable to have children
At least there's adoption.

@Nature:

I- I'm so sorry. Now I feel selfish.

I had a friend die of cancer in 4th grade. So I feel ya, sorry.

One good thing about not having a strong bond with my friends.

Life is a fragile gift. Many things can rip that gift from our hands. You see, although the loss of a loved one is an awful trauma, it is bound to happen. We all die, whether we like to accept it or not.

Think about it like this darling, as our bodies decompose, our atoms scatter throughout the atmosphere. So he/she will always be with us, and a part of you and the Earth.

Cancer, is something that has caused the death of many, young and old. However, you must understand that we are not invincible, and cancer is one of our biggest weaknesses.

There are stillborns that never get to enjoy life, so at least your companion could enjoy his life.

If this wasn't of help, I'd like to apologize. For what it's worth, I apologize for your loss.

Also, celebrate his/her life, do not mourn his death.

At least he is at rest, away from the pain and fear of death being so close.
