Where do I begin

I'm in relatively good health, I think, have a decent job and a happy relationship. But my mentor and best friend has been diagnosed with stomach cancer and have only weeks to live. 
Chemo failed and the cells have spread. The doctors expect that they'll need to remove his feed tubes soon because his body is rejecting food. We live in different continents so I'm travelling to him to say goodbye.
I expect the coming weeks to be horrendous, but am grateful to have found this forum. 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Singster although I'm very sorry to hear your best friend only has a few weeks to live after being diagnosed with stomach cancer.

    I can't begin to imagine how tough it must have been to find this out but I'm really glad you're able to see them to say your goodbyes.

    Many of our members have been on this journey with their nearest and dearest, so will really understand what you're going through at the moment and will hopefully be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    The next few weeks will no doubt be very tough but our community are here for you and will do all they can to help you through this.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
