my best friend died this past week after fighting cancer for 9 years.he went in the hospital(mayo) every year to receive cemo for a full month.when he got out he was fine again for a year,then he went in again.when this last time came for him to go receive cemo,he told me he didnt think he would keep on with this for too many more years.he went in and after about a week of cemo he developed a high temp of 103.so they put him in intensive care.one by one his organs started to shut down till he finally had had enough and died.i hope this does discourage you at all.he had the best aditude right up until his death.he knew he was going to die,but still lived life like nothing was wrong.so live the rest of your life to the fullest.it does help both you and all the ppl. close to you.god bless you and keep up the fight against this horrible disease.
