    • About Me

      I am 36 single and trying to survive and find my way in this world of uncerntity. I am trying to expand my network of people in my life. Right now I have two close friends one that just found out she has terminal lung cancer. The other who has to have surgery on her knee. And will be bed written for awhile. My friend with cancer has no family who can help her through this, so I am. I am taking care of her after her kemo treatments. I am also taking care of friend who has a bad knee. the predictment I have is The one freind who has the knee problem doesn;t really want to be involved with the friend who is dying from cancer because she says she is not a good person that she is toxic. 'Well I won't abandon anyone in need and I like and care about her and I will not let her go through this alone. So I am trying to balance the two friendships with out losing them both. One from possible death the other from being iratated with me for taking care of the other friend. Plus deal with my own problems. Life can be so complicated and yet challenging.

    • Close Lung Cancer

      I am helping a friend who was just diagnosed with lung cancer. We just went through her first kemo treatment she threw up a lot and passed out on me and I had to carry her. It really frightned me because I am not sure what to expect or what is normal. But I am slowly learning she has no family and very limited freindship so I am the main person she leans on and I am not sure if I am doing it effectively or not. I have never dealt with cancer or possible death before.
