A few weeks ago I posted this... http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=258979&highlight=upsetting
and I really appreciate all the responses. I went to visit my friend this afternoon at work after getting my haircut and when I asked him about his mom, he told me the bad news; that it is indeed cancer. In fact, I felt horrible because he started telling me everything about what was going on and was practically in tears. Totally broke my heart. He said that the doctors scheduled them for a post surgery appointment, but they don't even know if the cancer has spread. If it's spread, they can't opperate. I guess they are trying to be optomistic.
I just feel terrible for him. I don't want to repeat everything I said before, but this just upsets me to no end. I'm not as emotional as when I first found out that they found something on her lung; maybe because given my unfortunate experience in losing three people since 1996 to lung cancer and smoking, I had grim thoughts.
Anyway, I didn't want to reply on that other thread, just because the discussion had veered off a little bit. Nothing wrong with it, but I didn't want people who had written about things that upset them to have to open old wounds like that.
I've been praying (and I don't really pray... just don't really call myself religious, even though I believe in God and so forth), but I don't know if it's doing much good. Hopefully something I've been saying has been heard.
