About a month ago, a close friend of mine (who has been fighting cervical cancer for awhile now) was told she had about 8 months left. A week and a half ago she went into the hospital to do routine labs and ended up staying. They found out that she had an infection in her bloodstream. They gave her 2 options. Leave things alone, go home, and probably live a few more weeks.....OR have surgery (if successful would extend her life possibly by months). Well, she had the surgery yesterday, and passed away late last night.
This woman has 3 beautiful children and a husband. My heart is aching so much right now. I have an overwhelming sense of fear. I lost my mom when I was 13 (also to cancer), and I'd be lying if I said I didn't think the same thing would happen to me one day.
This just isn't fair.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend and am praying for her husband and children as they deal with this. It hurts to the core to see someone suffer and even more so to get your hopes up, thinking they might get better and just may make it. My father suffered for 2 months before died; he'd had leukemia 13 years earlier and had a relapse plus other complications. My mother has had breast cancer, and a brother has had lymphoma. That makes fully 50% of my immediate family who has had cancer! So I know what you mean when you say you fear it'll be your turn one day. Regardless of whether it is my turn one day, I have peace knowing God is with me no matter what.

So sorry for your loss, Erica. You're right; it's not fair.

Hugs and prayers to you. I am sorry for your loss and yes, sometimes life and death is not fair. I was also there with my mom with cancer and I know how hard things can be and the emotional toll is hard. However, take into account your memories and cherish what you do have in your life \:\)

((( hugs )))

I am sending a hug and a prayer. One of my teacher's past with the same surprise only she was only diagnosed one month before her passing. She went listening to opera.
Just know that you were there for her and did all you could for a special friend.
