Dying Friend

[ndrosen]

I knew that a certain friend of mine had cancer, and since I hadn’t heard much from him, and he hadn’t been doing his usual activities, I figured either he was declining badly, or treatment was using up all his energies. Sad to say, the answer is “declining badly.” I’ve heard from two other friends about his situation: chemotherapy and radiation have not worked, and he will be going into a hospice, or is already there, and is expected to live perhaps four to six weeks.

He has a wife and two children; they’re at least teenagers now, and the older may be an adult.

Cancer stinks.
