feeling sad, friend who has cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi, I just need to vent. I feel so sad.

A friend of mine has cancer. Some years ago, the doctors told her

she would have just a few months left, after the chemo didn't do very much. But than they decided to operate and give her pills, which helped the tumors to get smaller.

Recently the tumors in her belly had started to grow again. She was put on pills, but yesterday she phoned me straight from the hospital that these pills haven't helped. The doctor and she will decide next week if she will try other pills and if this won't work, she needs an other chemo-therapy.

There's still hope. The doctor expect her to live for quit some more years, but the big question will be how. The tremors spread all in her body, even in her spine. they don't grow than only the one in her belly.

She has two children, both in junior-highschool.

She doesn't want her children to worry. Today it's her daughter's birthday. Every birthday is special.

There's still hope. She still lives, yet I feel sad for her and her children. She was doing so well.

I lost many people on cancer, so it brings up memories too.

Thanks for listening.
