Family & Friends of Cancer Patients Support Group
This community is dedicated to parents, siblings, grandparents, other relatives, friends and caretakers of cancer patients. It's difficult to find a safe place to talk about caring for a loved one with cancer, and so this group serves as an open forum to foster positivity and support for those going through this tough time.
Hi Everyone,
A very good friend of mine is dying from Tongue Cancer. They transferred him to hospice last week and Im very sad. Im also angry that Cancer exists. Ive started to research alternative treatments because there must be ways to prevent such a horrific disease to occur. He never smoked and never drank. It is frustrating seeing someone I love suffer like this.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
I encourage you to share your feelings with others. Get support from your family and friends.
We do not know what causes there are for cancer. In my case, I did not smoke or drink either. But in some cancers there is no known cause.
Share your feelings with others. Let your friend know you care. Be there for your friend.
Thanks for sharing.

I wish I had answers for you. I dont, but I can understand your feelings and I know that having someone understand me has been truly helpful as I battle my issues with loosing my Daddy.
Good luck to you in your battle. He is lucky to have a freind who loves him so much, it breaks my heart to see those in the chemo rooms all alone.
Love is powerful. Take care.
