I hate cancer!
I lost one of the closest friends 11 years ago. I still feel his loss, but there are many times I make smallmouth floats and duck hunts and I feel I am not alone.

Sorry for your loss of your buddy. I have a good friend who has been diagnosed with brain cancer. It's tough to see how much he has changed in such a short period of time. Cancer is one nasty disease.

Very sorry for your loss buddy....I just lost one of my uncles to pancreatic cancer about a month ago at 54 years old. Just pure nasty, mean stuff. My father has 4 brothers and every single one of them has  had prostate cancer and my uncle that passed was diagnosed with prostate and pancreatic shortly thereafter. It took all of 3 months after he found out to take him to meet our Savior. It's a plague and quite frankly awful how it can break some of the strongest men/women we know in our lives down to almost nothing.

Sorry for your loss man. That's why I do St. Baldricks every spring. I raise money for children's cancer research, and then get my head shaved in solidarity with the sick kids who lose their hair during their cancer treatment. Cancer sucks!!! >:(

Lost my father and a sister to the Big C.  My prayers go all going this plague, but I am having trouble getting there with a certain US Senator, that one is quite a struggle.  I am trying hard, but what a struggle.
