My friend is going to die.

My best friend/other half well she has cancer. I had to deal with people having cancer my whole life and most all of them have died. I think my friend is going to die. She is having surgery over summer and wants me to go and I even called the hospital to see if i can seriously bring a sleeping bag to sleep next to her, Ive seen her having a seizure and i feel so helpless. I have no idea what I would do without her. half of me would be gone..I just need help with how to deal with this.

    I know what your going through....cancer has taken all of my grandparents. I was 2 years old when I lost my grandad. I never actually saw how bad cancer could get until my nana (his wife) got brain cancer and she died when I was 9. My other 2 grandparents died on the same day when I was 6 because they had lung cancer. I cried so much when I realised what cancer actually was (this wasn't till I was 12)
    and how much pain they had all gone through. It made me realise how much I could of helped when my nana died even though I was only 9.

    Give your friend all the help and support she needs and if she does pass (pray god she doesn't) you'll feel happy you helped her through the hard times and she'll know that you were there for her and that you never left her when she needed you.
    You're in my prayers and I hope the sugery is a sucess

    I'ma be praying for your friend. My best friend in midle school got cancer and I was in so much pain and worry and sadness while he did. I prayed every day and cried myself to sleep allot and did what I could to be there for him. It was a tough time and I'm so sorry your haveing to go through this. Your both in my prayers. What you can do is be there for her every second she needs you. Moral support right... best wishes for her surgery.

    I hate death. i have lost 4 of the closest members of my family in the last 2 years. I am now alone and left only with family members that I can take or leave. I feel for you. So sorry --

    It's normal to feel helpless and confused when faced with this. While others you've known died, it doesn't mean she will. Good for you that you're willing to be there! Good luck.

    Take my advice, spend the time with her that you can while you still have her in your life, if you're lucky enough, she will pull through, but if she passes then just remember that she will always be with you n' that the love you have for each other is eternal, your love cannot die. I hope that was helpful, if you wanna talk to me for a shoulder to cry on, then go ahead babe cause I lost my best friend to a rare case of lung cancer long ago. I know what it's like to go through something this devastating.

    sincerely,

    Armyant1. :)

    You are kind even through this tragedy... please tell your best friend that you love her and no matter what happens to her, you'll be right there. Bring her her favorite foods, CD's, and maybe a memory book filled with pictures and captions of you two. Don't ever give up, though. Never. If you show her that you sincerely believe she's going to make it, she will have the courage to fiercely fight her cancer even more than if you acted somber. As a surprise if she's in the hospital, take her on an "outing" by bringing some fun games and happy music-keep her updated on things going on outside. It's all about the mentality.

    I know you feel helpless... I know how this feels. But don't think of this as almost the end, think of it as a bump in the road. Even if your dear friend does pass away, you will know that she left this earth fighting and strong-spirited, and that you had faith in her. Maybe get her a silver bracelet with "forever" or "hope" on the charm, and get yourself one too. This way, you will always have something connecting you.

    Just don't give up. Have faith in her, because I have faith in you.

    If your feelings get too overwhelming, certainly speak with a counselor. There is no shame in that. It will help you cope and probably help you be the best possible friend to her. As a cancer survivor, I had some wonderful friends who were there for me in many ways, and one in particular who completely disappeared and that was horrible. Clearly, you are not that type of friend, but what I'm trying to say is that there is almost nothing you can do wrong for your friend if you are simply available to her. She's lucky to have you.

    All you can do is be there for her. Let her know that you're not going to give up on her no matter what happens. If you haven't seen the movie The Bucket List, you may want to. I'm sure you could relate to it.

    Good luck, hon. I'll pray for the both of you.

  • i am so sorry about your friend, i lost my mummy to cancer and i know what your going through. loosing someone really close to you.
    spend as much time with her and do whatever she needs you to do. because she probably just wants your around. just remember to act normal around her because my mummy said to me she wanted things to go on like nothing different was happening so maybe your friend wants it to be like that too?
    i dont know your friend or you but i just know that you should try to help her as much as you can and if it gets too much for you being around her; tell her that you cant stand around while her life is taken away. ( that sounds so terrible but i had to do it with my mummy)
    hope that helps. and a prayer goes out to you and your friend from me. <3

    I am sooooo sorry to hear about your friend :( I think you should try to spend as much time as possible with her and try to help her however you can. Cancer is cruel, and I've seen it take loved ones. My father-in-law passed away from his battle with cancer. It was so sad. I know your friend will appreciate everything you do for her, and in the end, you will feel much better, knowing you were there for her. Good luck. A prayer goes out to you and your friend <3

    be there for her. there have been medical miracles. keep her hopes up and there is a better chance of her living. I know a man that has had 4 types of cancer and still has 2. they were/all extremely aggressive but he has a really big will to live. he is still alive and he still does stuff! he can't fly airplanes again yet but that hasn't stopped him from building one! toughest guy i know. point of the story? A strong will to live can keep you alive. I'm so sorry about what she is going through emotionally and physically and you emotionally.

    I'm sorry about your friend): i know how horrible that must be, I really do.
    If that happened to me, I would probably sign up for a greif club or see a therapist. They help sometimes, no reason not to check one out.
    But since your friend won't die for sure, keep her positive and hopeful. Suppor her, of course. :)
    Good luck and I wish you and your friend the best!
