I found out yesterday that a person that I've been friends with since I was 6 has had a relapse of Brain Cancer. There's talk that she might not be able to take it this time. She first had Brain cancer when she was 5 and she made a wish through the "Make A Wish" foundation to go to Disney World. She made it through but, she lost a lot of her hair that didn't grow back all the way and some hearing loss in both ears. We are kind-of kindred spirits because I was born with mild Cerbal palsy and have walked on my tiptoes since birth. I know that they doesn't even compare to Cancer but, it's nice to have someone who doesn't judge you. She never has and I've never judged her. About seven years ago she developed tumors on her spine but, she got though it and three years ago they're were tumors in her brain again. Now, she definitely has Cancer. I'm trying to figure out how I feel about this. I want to cry but, then again I don't. She's been through so much in her life and she's the bravest person I know. The fact of losing her to something that has plagued her since she was little breaks my heart. It's just not fair! I've been listening to that song "Cancer" from My Chemical Romance which I know is not a very healthy thing to do but, I don't know...
Oh, I'm soooooo sorry! Just try to spend as much time with her as you can, enjoy the time you have. And, maybe she will make it. I'll keep her in my prayers.
One of my friends passed away from a relapse of cancer last year. Spend time with her and just be there for her. because chances are, although she is brave, she's probably really scared. I'll keep her in my prayers. <3
I'm so sorry to hear that. A senior at my high school is suffering from the worst kind of melanoma. He's undergone so much treatment and he's been so sick recently. I agree with Alex. Just spend time with her and be the best friend that you can. I hope things work out for the best<3
