Calling for support... Thread

Hello people. My name is Jennifer and one of my friends might have cancer. He went for an examination today, but he won't get the results back in a while. My birthday in December 9th, and I fear something might happen..

A number of my friends have died 1 year apart. A friend I met online went by the name, "Madaventor", but his real name was Steven. He was going to come see me on my birthday... He died on that day 2 years ago. Next was my friend Alan. I knew him for 3 years, died on my birthday last year. Now Im scared that my other friend might die on my up coming birthday which is soon. I think this because it was only yesterday that he was told he might have cancer.

If you can, I would like you to post something here, as support for my friend and I, in hopes that the results will be good.

Please.

Jennifer Ashley O'Brian.

Hope its not cancer, sometimes these things are just scared and not the real think.

All the best, hope it all turns out good in the end.
Cancer aint the end of the world, People recover from it.

I've never had a friend die, only family.

Sorry to hear this Jenny, I wish your friend the best.

I don't wish to be rude, but you really shouldn't be looking for support from a internet discussion board. Counselling and the Samaritans (I think they are in Canada?) are a far better place to go. They exist to help you.

o.o well i believe its a great idea..because in times of deporession even if it is online...people can always make a differennce...i know this firned...and i am praying for him...all the time...hopefully it will solve things...

Wow, not much to say here except I feel really bad for you. I wish you and your friend the best of luck as this is the most depressing thing I've ever heard.

That sounds terrible, but you really shouldn't fix yourself into some kind of pattern. Even if your friend does have cancer, its nearly impossible for them to reach the end before even a diagnosis.

Oh shit, I realise this sounds really un-emphatic... Well, hope it turns out for the best. Don't give up hope, eh?

To you and your friend i say, never give up, never lose hope.

There is always hope! The doctors where 100% sure my mom had cancer but after her surgery they discovered it was nothing !

hopefully this turns out that way to, and i pray for goodluck for you and your friend

well, in actuality, even if your friend has cancer, with today's treatments, surgeries, and even take-at-home pills, the chances of dying due to cancer is extremely low. I know how you feel, but at least you can say goodbye. I never got that chance with my grandpa. I know you and him are going to make it. Sorry if this sounds a bit hard/harsh/unsympathetic, but that is the actual reality, that the chances of dying today is very low.

Sticky, it still depends on the type of the cancer. My cousin died a year after he took the tests

But still it is possible that he hasn't got it, try to relax, everything will be okay (i think)

Im not looking for THAT kind of support..

thank you jenny i love you too...

Never, ever, lose hope. Hope for the best. I'm sorry I can't really give much support about the matter, I've only known 2 people that have died, and I knew them barely, one was my Grandmother who was on so much drugs she couldn't talk anymore, and the other was a Great Aunty that was in a nursing home far away from our place, so I barely saw here. I do have sympathy for you of course, please except it and I shall be happy.

Cancer, cancer, cancer. It's turning into the Western world's own version of Africa's AIDS pandemic, but the only problem is that half the time doctor's can't figure out how people contract it. My dog died of cancer, my mum's best friend who was also my own best friend's mum died of a third cancer, and a great bloke in the Flashpoint modding community who I worked with named Lawrie died of cancer in 2002.

It's a long road for your friend, and they're going to have to put up with a lot of shit with the Kemotherapy reducing their body's natural defenses and that sort of stuff. Send them my love and thoughts. And take care of yourself to, Jenny, it's gonna be tough for you too.

well, good luck for him.
it'll turn out alright.

I'm so sorry, Jenny

I really wish there were more breakthroughs in science to find more cures for cancer. I wish your friend the best, and the cancer can hopefully go through intermission

Your freind will never die, and you will win the lottery, and you will not even have bought a ticket !!!

Yeah I know what you are going through, trust me. No matter what happens, I would just cherish every day you have with your friends and family. I am not saying something bad is going to happen to your friend I dont want you to think that is what I am saying. Let me ask you something though. By worrying do you think you can add any time on to you or anyone elses life? Like I said before just spend every day with your loved ones like it was their last. I will be keeping you in my prayers if you don't mind me doing so.

Erm... that didn't really help him cheer up... infact, that kind of hurt his feelings, making him feel like he is going to die...

But thanks though.

lol well its the thought that counts
my aunt was diagnoed with Acut meiloginous (thats a horrible spelling) cancer in february and now is in remission... obviously it can come back within the next 5 years but most likely wont after 18 months... we are just so happy that she is in remission for now, it lookd bad for a while and everything turned out fine

I'm sorry to hear such news. I hope your friend gets better!

Events like these make one realize how precious life is...
