Best friend
 

This is a sad day. I just talked to my friend who was admitted tot he hospital, after complaining about a sore back and ribs. The local health clinic diagnosed it as "pulled muscles" about 2 months ago.
Take some anti-inflamatories and tylenol 3.

He is a recovering alcoholic (I may have mentioned that in a previous post) and has been sober for 13 months now.
Today he told me that he has lung cancer and it has spread into his lymph nodes. I know this is not good.
He'll be coming out of the hospital on Wednesday. I think I'll be a busy guy for the next few months, or so.

But he does have a positive outlook.
"I'll just have to live every day as best I can, be it long or short before I kick off." His words.
He's only 37.:(

Sorry to hear about that. Kind of puts things in perspective when stuff like that happen. Hang in there.

I'm doing fine. I've been through this with my Mom, an Aunt and Uncle, the scare from my wife (she's been clean now for 7 years). But, ya, it gets to you once in a while, when you least expect it to.

Sorry about the bad news northernnorm.I know what you are going through.I lost one of my best friends to lung cancer last June, he was only 39.It was one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with.
My prayers go out to your friend and his family and friends.

Sorry about your friend. That is really young!

Yep -- you sure don't expect to face that kind of challenge at such an early age....:confused:

Sorry to hear about that. My prayers go out to him.

Keep faih. My best friend of 20 years now had to go through 3 surgeries (including removing most of his lymph node) and intensive chemo and radio but has been clear now for 2 years. Your friend is still young, that helps sometimes. I saw that you said you have been through this a few times, dang, thats hard man. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your friend.

Your friend is in my prayers. :angel: My grandfather died of lung cancer, so sad :(
