My longtime friend got diagnosed with a very aggressive stage 4 cancer 3 weeks ago. Last Thursday, his kidneys and liver began failing. He was hospitalized and doctors didn't think he would survive the weekend. A dozen friends came on Sunday, and he's doing a little better now. Still, I know his chances aren't good.
But your picture gives me hope, and hope is always a good thing.
Hey mate, hope you and your buddy are holding up. My grandpas in the hospital and needing radiation therapy. I can’t remember if it’s cancer or something else, I don’t think it is
But anyways there’s plenty of communities to talk or heck even just vent if you need to
Thank you. We're fortunate that her cancer was caught early and her scans have been clear so far. Hoping your friend gets more time and better news than expected.
