	best friend age 19 Post By: just some girl
	Message:	My best friend was diagnosed with bone cancer 2 years ago. Six months ago and many chemo rounds later, the cancer spread to one of his lungs. Last week it was found in his brain, other lung, and spleen. He is an amazing guy and does not deserve to go through this. Nobody does. I am running out of ways to deal with this situation. I go from being perfectly happy to being very upset and angry. I really would like someone to talk to outside of the situation. I need to talk to someone who knows what it is like to deal with cancer. I have had a friend's mom taken by brain cancer, a young friend taken by soft tissue cancer, 3 friends recover (thank goodness) from various forms of leukemia, and my dad and grandpa dianosed with different types of skin cancer. Anyone who would be willing to talk I would appreciate it so much.
