Re: Decided to post...because I know you will understand...
I just want to add, I also lost several people very close to me of cancer, while going through this. My brother and I was diagnosed a month apart. He with melanoma. We often did chemo together. He died 2 years later,I was with him when he passed. It was so stressful and heartbreaking to watch him deteriorate while I was getting better. It still hurts so bad when I think of it. He told me something once it was "I prayed to God that he not take the both of us, mom couldn't take losing us both". Now he also said that he didn't volunteer to be the one to go..lol. I often think that maybe God did listen to his prayers and that may be one of the reasons I'm here. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, she sounded like a wonderful person. I like to believe my brother is watching over me as I'm sure your friend is now....sherry
