78. I'm a cancer survivor. Lost my brother, best friend to cancer 25+ years ago

Sun Jan 11, 2015, 12:26 AM

I'm sorry for your loss.

My hope for you is that you kept in your mind what she asked you to. Those who are about to die know it. What she said to you over the past few visits are what matters most to her. As a cancer patient you KNOW if you are going to make it.

I apologize if you find this offensive. I've had a great deal of experience over the years with folks that have had cancer. Funny how we cancer patients have no problem talking about it.

Godspeed to your sister, and God bless you and your family.
