My best friend has liver and esophagus cancer

I have just found out that my friend has cancer. He has had a tough couple of years and now this, I know cancer doesn't discriminate as it took my mum 13 years ago. It's just so unfair. He only found out today and he seems really positive. But I've done some reading up and it doesn't look good. I'm so upset for him and his family and for myself, hes a very good friend and I know what's coming. I know I shouldnt think like that but I cant help it. 

  • My 46 year old best friend has terminal cancer and I know what you mean. At the beginning I was panic struck for me as well as her and I was desperate to know what was happening/would happen. I even had thoughts like I wish she would pass soon so I could deal with it so whatever you think is normal! She's still here 18 months later and I have calmed down to what I was. Perhaps the loss of your mum is being reawakened too? Xx
