(((((DPM)))))

I know I lost my Mom to cancer 6 years ago.....when the cancer spread to her lungs also. I also have a friend who was Dx'ed with cancer 1 year ago & as been going through the chemo, the radiation, & again chemo & we keep praying as they kept finding new placed where it was showing up. Know that they can keep treating it & she can keep on fighting it as long as there is hope.

It's hard realizing our mortality when it shows up so close. I always thank God for the faith that I hold. It doesn't make it easier going through the illness, but it helps in so many other ways.

The important thing is to continue to BE THERE. So many people (even friends) think they can't handle going through loosing their friends & end up walking away at the point when being there is so important. Know that is NOT YOU, but I know it does take STRENGTH to be there & keep the support going when the emotions want to win & just run in the other direction.

I am sorry that your friend is fighting her cancer again but I am glad that she has you for a special caring friend.
