I have a mate who found out right on xmas that he has Luekemia. The best thing you can do is be his mate. No he's not going to be able to do the things he once did but he'll appreciate you for being there. Chin up Apple.
My mate Pat has been through the first round of Chemo and is doing ok at this point. This is one of those rides that kick you in the arse when you least expect it. Stay positive.

Sorry to hear that Apple.
Cancer. it seems to be getting worse than a few decades ago or is just that now I'm in my forties I know more people at the vunerable age? Seems to be killing so many people and not the usual suspect smokers. Some Wgtn KBers had a sad farewell last year for a rider struck down too young by cancer.
Reminds me to enjoy every day above ground.

APPLE.. speaking from a previous experience of my own.. It will be a long hard road.. Be there as his friend but please keep it in the back of your mind that he may say or do things.. That he never really means.. Its extremely frustrating for them.. I've been on the recieving end.. If you need someone to talk to about what is going on I know you don't know me from a bar of soap but I am only a PM away if need be..

Sorry to hear that Apple, A good friend (old work mate passed away from cancer last year) so I know how you are feeling. Can be quite tough at times mate, stay strong, keep positive and always be there when your friend needs you. If you need to talk to anyone feel free to PM me.

Oh man, that is sad, but make the last times of his life the best by being there as his friend.

It is not until you lose someone very close and dear to your life that you realise how precious and irreplaceable life really is.

My thoughts are there for you.

Sad to hear about your friend Apple.... As someone else said, now that I'm in my 40's I know more and more people who have had it, and many who have beat it. Good luck guys!

i was diagnosed with cancer last year. Was told there is nothing we can do sorry. I ask can you operate, they said no to risky, i said i don't clear sooner die on operating table, than be in the pain I am in now. Then Surgeon said i will do it. when in for opp had all prep work done cleaning the system out ,which was not nice. just about to be hooked up for the units of blood ready for next morning, when asked by Surgeon to go see him thinking good find whats going to happen. He says sorry looked at your scan to hard for me to do, have to find someone better. Two weeks later had opp. It took ten hours ,32 unit of blood ,all the a neg they had in Wgtn . they took out a 8.5KG tumor. Waiting for scan soon to see if latest round of sickness has any thing to do with it. Sorry to here about your mate don't be put of he he gets in a bad temper now and then. Try not to be sad for him around him it only makes it hard for him to deal with it, it did for me anyway. Be happy.
