I don't post much, but I am on here every day reading. Anyway, I just need to talk, and there is nobody home to listen, so I figured I'd turn to my Dis family (and I truly feel that you are family). In 2001, I lost my best friend to ovarian cancer. She was diagnosed in March and passed in April. I thought it was the hardest thing I would ever have to face, until I came home from the hospital and called my mother to tell her my friend was gone. My mother then told me she had just found out she had lung cancer.
The following May, my mother passed, although the doctors had sworn she was cured - she was of the cancer in her lungs, they just missed that it had gone to her bones and brain. Part of me died with her, but my dear husband and family helped me hold it together. Then, last January. my dear brother-in-law lost his battle with esophogeal cancer. A few months later my father was diagnosed with the same thing, and, thankfully, only suffered a week before we lost him.
Two days ago I got an email from someone that I care very deeply for. All he said was that he had been to the doctor and was given morphine, and sees the oncologist tomorrow. He had not even told me he was sick, and now I cannot get in touch with him - he lives in Alabama and I am in SC.. I cannot lose someone else I love to this stupid cancer!!!! Please, if it is not too much trouble, say a prayer for Michael, and, if you don't mind, maybe say one for me that I can hold myself together. We leave Sunday for a week at Disney which I really need, but I am so worried about my friend that I don't know if I can have a good time or not.
Thank you for reading, and for any prayers you can give.

I will certainly pray for Michael and your family.
Sometimes just writing it out, and knowing others are there helps a great deal. I believe so.
