I'm so so sorry for your friend. I really don't know what to say other than I'll pray for her (and you). That's so hard and so very young. Sending a cyber hug your way.

My dad is losing his battle with prostate cancer too....A big hug from me to you. It will get harder before it gets better, but if she is as strong as you say she is - you at least have that precious gift of time. Sometimes all that there is left to do is to learn how to say goodbye. God Speed.....

"To the ass, or the sow, their own offspring appears the fairest in creation."

I had my 2 grandfathers loose their battles to cancer. I know the pain you must be feeling. I also know that there are no magic words which can make the situation better, so I hope the support you find here & with your family & friends can at least help lessen the "blow" of this sad time for you. Make every minute be the treasure it is. I will keep you & your friend in my prayers.

What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger!

Hang in there... We are all here for you.. Try to be comfort to her, cry with her and laugh and make her life as wonderful as you can in this time.. We love you and will continue to pray for you all..

Happy
"live life to its fullest everyday"

My dad, God bless his soul passed away 10 yrs ago this xmas. He was diagnosed with cancer (it had spread thru all the major organs by the time they discovered it) was given 6 wks to live.

I still think very often of how my dad actually dealt with knowing that he was dying and how soon it would be. My dad and I had some very personal talks during this time, that I cherish to this day. Some of my best memories are from during this time and I hold them close to my heart. We kept dad home, all of us taking turns caring for him (he was only 53) until that last couple of days. When he knew he couldn't stay home any longer, he called us all over to say his goodbye's. He gave mom strict orders that when he went in the hospital for the last time, us kids were not to come visit. He wanted to have some dignity and for us to remember him how he was, not what he had become.

Dad was admitted into the hospital on Dec 24th and passed on the 26th. He made us all promise to celebrate xmas with the our kids the next day, because they were our live's and they shouldn't have to suffer because of his illness. That was dad's last wish and although it was hard, Santa was there the next morning and we celebrated the fact that we had dad in our lives as long as possible.

It is going to be one of your worst experiences in life, but try to put your own hurt aside for now and spend as much time with your friend. You will go on to cherish this time spend as I have with my dad.

Hugs to you...lots of them.
