BELTOLEUM Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 So a few months ago, my mom told me that one of her friends from work son has been diagnosed with cancerous tumors. This kid is only a bit younger then me and I used to attend a day camp with him when I was younger. It really sucks because after this camp I never talked to him even though we were friends. He was always a good kid and from what I know never did anything wrong. Just a few days ago my mom told me the doctor informed his mom that he only has 3 weeks to live at the maximum. As of yesterday it has changed and the doctors believe that he will only live till the end of the week. Its horrible this is happening to him and he will only be turning 16 next week. As of recently the tumors started/were already spreading and now left him not able to use him arms and legs. He has lost some of his vision but can still somewhat see. Through this whole thing his mother has told us that he is been completely positive about his situation. I was kind of upset that his mom hasn't told him yet that he only has about a week to live. I am sure it would be extremely hard to tell him, but I think most people would want to know or maybe do something before they pass. I am going to visit him later today or tomorrow im just hoping everything goes well while I am there. I wish I could have done something with him early like I said I wanted to do, I feel like a asshole that I didn't now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BELTOLEUM Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 thanks and yea i know man, crazy they still havent found a cure for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 It really isnt' that crazy. Cancer comes in so many flavors. To find a "cure" is more so to find a specific fix for each one. My grandmother is going through treatment right now for breast cancer. Luckily she is at MD Anderson, so her treatment is top in the world. But as an example, hers has not mestasticized so they don't have to treat multiple tumors. They are trying a protein inhibitor medication which blocks the growth and production of blood vessels to the tumor itself. I remember seeing a NOVA episode on this type of treatment years ago. It is nice to finally see some headway being made with that type of R&D to actual use. Basically, you can't cure cancer at large. You have to cure each cancer. And in some cases the different types that can arise from the spread of the tumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watson Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 i hear you man. when i was 17, my good friend was diagnosed with ewings sarcoma cancer it was a rare on and originally only had a couple of weeks to live. he ended up living a year and half after that it wasn't till we were almost 19 that he passed away. it was hard but i guess that's the way things happen it sucks that people who are in jail for serial killing/rape/whatever are still alive while good people like him died from cancer rip matt and good luck to your friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicineCabinet Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 sorry to hear that.. i'm afraid of cancer.. i hear ya but the irony is the more you worry about it, the worse it is for you all you can do is live healthy & try to weigh the odds in your favour at the risk of sounding like some tpwf yoga nut, those stomach-hurting belly laughs are apparently healthier for you than a lot of people realize beltoleum, my condolances ive had family members go down like this & it sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicineCabinet Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 at least were not from chernobyl/sons of vietnam vets that were exposed to agent orange/hiroshima some people dont even get a starting chance at life, so its kiinda fair for us. i guess just sayin, not starting a pro-life/pro-choice debate or some shit, because i dont care about that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BELTOLEUM Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 I personally would rather not have a starting chance because I wouldn't want to live part of my life then live years in pain knowing that eventually im more than likely going to die. Visited him today, isnt doing well but hopefully can still hold on longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
