Bad news on the home front.

[Kerouactivist]

I just found out early tonight one of my closest friends has cancer (sadly I dunno if it should be capitalized or not).


I'm fvucking 23 years old, what is wrong with this world that this is the case my friend is 22 and has colon cancer.

I've pi$$ed off and pushed away anyone who has every loved me.
I have hurt myself to a degree I don't know how to explain.
The only person I really wish would read this could care less about me.

I've wasted my life...
I've seen enough

I just want something real
and to my friend in words I could never express so I say them now.
I love you buddy and fight on.

Yeah, this is just another thread but, I am so freaking sad I dunno what to to do or who to turn to Fvck I wish life was eas

You do whatever you need to do. I think that since you care about your friend then you need to be at his side all the way threw(sp?) this. And if he does pass you need to know that the things you have done in the past cannot be changed. Just try to remember the good things.

Damn.... colon cancer at 22? :Q

That's nuts.

Eat right, folks. I bet 100$ he's hardly eaten a single nutritous thing in his life.

I feel sorry for your friend. cancer is a sh1tty condition... i had 2 friends, 2 grandparents and a dog die of it

one of the friends died of leukemia. the grandfather died of brain cancer, the grandmother of lung cancer spreading...

the dog died of cancer developing around his hip, and spreading...


it's a terrible way to die give me death by burning over that any day...

i feel truly sorry for your friend, and hope he pulls through. there is always hope. my other grandfather was told he had 6 months to live, and that was 20 years ago. have hope.

For a while I've personally thought that cancer is the most important illness for us to get rid of just for reasons like you mentioned.

Anyway from what I have heard the prognosis for somebody diagnosed with colon cancer is quite good isn't it?

Sorry to hear that.

AFAIK, yep.. as long as it's caught early.

My question is how did they catch it so early? The logical thing to assume is that they wouldn't have found it until he was having massive symptoms and was almost dead at 45.

Don't know many people who have colon cancer screenings in their 20s. :Q

Just about to ask this same question. How did he know to get checked out? Did he have any weird symptoms that prompted the visit to the doctor? Colon cancer at 22 yrs old is scary, I hope he pulls through OK.
