I feel bad for feeling bad! Someone with whom I have been friends since I was 4, but who I rarely see, has just written to say she has breast cancer. The prognosis is good but she has had quite a tough life - pregnant at 17, abandoned by the baby's father, wonderful support from her family but her son has huge learning difficulties. This has really rocked me after the news that one of my best friends and one of my husband's oldest friends both have uncurable/inoperable cancer.
I know it's not about me but I could crawl into a hole and howl!! I'm sure I will be back to normal tomorrow but at the moment it's all too much and I think it has brought home to me how fragile and precious life is, how blessed I have been and how time is never going to go backwards.
kittylester learnergran whitewave and all GNs felling sad about a friend with cancer.Big hugs all round.
Last week l went to the funeral of a dear friend.She had breast cancer 12 yrs ago and a good recovery .Then 2 yrs ago cancer in other parts.She has had a hard time since with several courses of chemo but has been such an inspiration to her friends and family.She has had a full life after first diagnosis and in last 3 yrs had 3 new grandchildren.
As jeni said the treatment and prognosis is so good now- much better than it was 25 yrs ago when my sister died
I hope for good news for you and strength to give support to your loved ones.
Manaic thank you. I am sorry your friend died, I'm sure you will miss her.
