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.

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.
