One of my closest friends died from cancer yesterday, I'm still in shock, having breakdowns here and there, my best friend is having a flight in a few hours to London with his girlfriend, my boyfriend is at Berlin spending the weekend with his dad + brother, my other friends are partying downtown but I'm a lil bit too sad to go out and it's raining a lot, my parents are out of town and I'm just here drinking some beer and smoking by myself while listening to Janet.

He did have terminal cancer for like a month but I never thought he would be gone so fast, I visited him in the hospital often, watching him losing more and more weight, he ended up losing his vision and couldn't even eat without throwing all out, he was 30 years old. I went to see him today in the chappel, he looked beautiful and he had such a tranquil look on his face, like he knew he was finally at peace, I wish I could believe in God these days so I would believe he went to a better place, I love you Zezi, you will never be forgotten.

Have my ATRL sistrens dealt with the loss of someone close, friends or family? We human beings are so fragile and useless, these days have been so sad..

My grandfather has survived through so many types of cancer he needs two hands to count them. He was a chemist and I guess he was exposed to a lot of dangerous stuff. He's very lucky though and he's still alive today.

May he rest in peace

Stay strong

My thoughts and prayers are with you sending you my love.

May he rest in peace.

Yes. Recently, actually. I don't want to go into detail tho bc this is the kind of place where posting that sort of information will be thrown back at you as a low blow if you get into it w/ someone I will say the person was a cancer survivor tho. The strongest person I've ever known... the way she still laughed and acted like her old self even when she was being carried in on the stretcher for surgery.

May your friend rest in peace

To answer your question, my grandmother had 4 bouts of cancer, surviving through 3. The last one, pancreatic cancer, caused her passing.

May your friend rest easy, now

your avi tho

Sorry to hear it but at least it was fast, I know many people that suffered months of pain before passing. If I get it I want to go fast and not linger in pain.

One of my friends had Leukemia she was fighting it for years before she died at age 16. One of my grandmothers died of cancer it was terrible she suffered to bad, I remember the hospice nurse telling my mom like 10 times to remember if you give her this much morphine she will die so don't do that. In other words she was telling my mom if you want to end her suffering this is how much you need to give her. My brother died of cancer it was pretty bad as well but he was a bad ass so it's hard to tell how much pain he was in. He was buried with full military honors. There were others as well but I am hoping some day soon we won't be losing people to cancer.

So sorry about your lost. I really Hate Cancer. It is the worse thing ever. I had an uncle who die last year of cancer.

Sorry for your loss. I'm lucky, my grandmother survived her fight with cancer nearly three years ago now, she's been in remission ever since.

Sadly it doesn't always work out that way for everyone, but hopefully one day it will. I wish we could abolish the world of all illness, I really do.

Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss and everyone here who has lost someone of cancer. It's a horrible disease. My neighbor died from it last year. She was so nice to everyone and seeing her struggle with it for the last six days of her life was awful, but even though I don't believe in heaven I do believe she is in a better place.
