Default Losing friends
Not sure if this post should go here, but its not about my MS. In the past 2 weeks, I have been advised that 2 of my friends have been dx with cancer. My one friend has stage 3-4 of colon cancer. He is only a year older than me! (that makes him 43) My other friend is in her 50's, and her dh was just laid off from work a few months ago. They both are so young, and the sweetest people you'd ever want to meet. Both going thru chemo. It weighs heavy on my mind.

Very sad news and things like this kind of put my MS in perspective. Sending prayers.

Have lost quite a few friends, one of them my best friend at the age of 38, from cancer or some other horrible disease. Just seems to be hardly any left anymore who a person can count as a friend and not just an acquaintance.

I'm so sorry to hear this. It does seem as we get older we hear more and more about our friends and acquaintances passing away. I guess our parents probably went through the same......although it doesn't make it any easier to accept.

Prayers for you and for your friends.

This really hits home. I hope you have some supportive people you can turn to. It's hard to be helpful to others in need when you yourself aren't doing well.

And your friends are so young.

You and your friends are in my thoughts.
