i am just having such a hard time with this specific case. knowing her personally makes it soo hard, especially since ive known her for 25 years. im 40, she is 38, but she just seems like a BABY.
my great grandma died of cancer.
my grandparents died of cancer.
my mother is a breast cancer survivor.
andys parents died of cancer-lung and brain cancer.
but they were older. when u label the cancer on someone my age---it gets more real. andy had a VERY difficult time....but is recovering remarkably well. and he had a VERY rare cancer.
i guess i keep disecting this to try to make sense...and it just doesnt. i guess i just need to make peace with it.
im just having a really hard time with this.
i guess KNOWING cancer, makes it harder. frown
