1. I'm sorry...
But please don't you, or let her, give up hope.

3. I just got the same news too of a very good friend
Edited on Sun Aug-31-03 09:11 AM by Crewleader
which the cancer has entered his bones...when he just retired from the Space Center, it's seems too many are getting cancer in my book, I have lost quite a few already.
Last year a friend who had breast cancer, had it only return with a cancerous tumor of the brain. She suffered and died with her 3 year old daughter who will not have her mother growing up.

I am so sorry to hear about your friend too Jitter, it surely is heart breaking to see a friend suffer and we feel so helpless and so sad. My heart goes out to you, my only comfort is in prays dear friend and I will pray for you and your good friend.
Never give up Hope!

((((LOVE YOU))))

4. Thanks Crew
It is hard to see a friend frightened and suffering

As I get older , I see it more and more and it is never easy

5. Oh, Jitterbug....
After losing my parents I also dread the loss of dear friends and my sisters.

I know one woman of 80 who is living with pancreatic cancer and she is an incredible inspiration to me, for she lives her life acknowledging the approaching end, while carrying on with the activites and relationships she loves in exactly the same manner as before she fell ill.

Amazing woman....and non-religious, so her faith and joy are purely based on the life of this world, and love - not on any hope for salvation or afterlife. I like that.

All the best to you and your dear friend,

DemEx
