.??????.. would any one be friends with a cancer patient??????

Any person that would not be your friend because of your cancer is not worth having as a friend. I have known many cancer patients, mostly children, and I have found that most are better than the average person. Stronger, sweeter, kinder, better!

I'm so sorry for you. My mother and my boss' wife each had breast cancer, and one of my coworkers had lung and bone cancer. My minister had lung cancer.

You are NOT contagious and my guess is that the people you know are scared and have no idea how to deal with your cancer. If I knew where you lived I'd drive all night just to give you a hug.

If you want to talk, my e-mail is mcmufin@yahoo.com. I haven't had cancer myself, and I don't personally know what you are going through, but I'm here.

Bless you.

Hi, I just saw your post. I was just diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma and am scheduled for surgery on the 29th of June and they may possibly get me in sooner. The surgery will be to amputate 2 of my toes and possibly the complete foot and they will be doing biopsies of my lymph nodes. I'm really scared that I didn't catch it in it's early stages. I'm 39 and have 2 boys and want to be able to see them grow up and have fun with grandkids when they are old enough to have them. I would love to talk to you. I've noticed since my diagnoses that some of my friends know how serious this disease is and have withdrawn from me. I work full time so sometimes it's hard for me to get on here but I will try my best to get on the computer every chance I get to chat with you. Best Wishes to You!!!!

I lost my mother to breast cancer and I think the real question is why wouldnt anyone want to be friends with a cancer patient? If people are so ignorant to not want to talk to you or be your friend because they think it will spread, they are not worthy of being your friend.

*Sometimes people just dont know what to say or how to handle the situation. Keep that in mind.

THAT"S HORRIBLE! cancer is NOT contagious! how could your friends desert you when you probably need them most? as you've already seen you have many online friends here who care. i had a friend who had cancer. he became bald after the chemo but he was still the same person i knew. i have scoliosis and for awhile people at school looked at me like i was part of a novelty or freak show. i know scoliosis isn't cancer but i might have to undergo surgery. BUT I'M NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT! and YOU SHOULDN"T EITHER!!!!

People are probably afraid that they will start to care a lot about you and have to watch you suffer and maybe have to lose you. It must be tough to live with cancer. It also must not be easy for the people around you that care about you. And as cruel as it may sounds, your friends probably don't want to have to be in that group that has to care for someone who is going through a major illness. Some of them probably don't know what to say to you, they may be afraid that they will say something wrong that will upset you. I can bet that it's all fear on their part. I can only imagine what you must be going through.

properly based on your age on the 2d there isnt alot you're able to do. although you are able to set up pages on fb/myspace. get human beings to have subsidized races or subsidized issues like subsidized silence/interpreting/races/walks ect then deliver each and every of the money to maximum cancers examine the money they get supplies them extra possibilities of looking treatments. google seek the thank you to make your person website? i think of you get a 30 day trial. yet once you communicate on your mum and dad and pals im specific theyd chip in and pay which you would be able to maintain that up. you are able to desire to establish paypal bills or issues for donations. you will have a sparkling out and sell you products on ebay or at a backyard sale and deliver the money to maximum cancers examine. your an insperation and the international desires those that choose for to help. desire my recommendations help :) solid success!
