How can I help them cope?!
Question: How can I help them cope!?
I just found out my best friend was diagnosed with lung cancer last week!. He told me over MSN!. He said that his oncologist said that if he quits smoking by the time he's 22 (next year) then he will live a normal life!. If he doesn't he may live up to 25 years old!.
He told me he's taking radiation treatments and having to take pills at night and that his doctor is having him smoke medical marijuana to kill the cancer!.
He didn't seem to be taking it that seriously until he told me that he was scared, that he was only 21 and being diagnosed with cancer!.
He didn't understand why I was so shocked considering I knew he smoked, but still!.
He'd been my best friend for almost 13 years now!. Of course I'm shocked and scared for him!.
How do I help him cope!? And better yet, how do I help myself and our best friend cope!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
The only way your friend will live a normal life is if his cancer is either operable and they can cut out the cancerous node in his lung!.!.!. or if chemo/radiation can halt or poison the cancer!. And even then the sense of normalcy is never guaranteed as we are always scared it will come back!. Normally surgery is done, then chemo for maintenance!.
Medical marijuana will not kill the cancer, it is used only for pain management!. And with lung cancer, I am surprised an onc would prescribe a smoking herb!. Normally it is given in pill form for pain management, especially with lung disorders!.
Lung cancer is seldom curable, even with quitting smoking!. Prognosis once diagnosed is usually 6 months to a year, a five year survival is rare but if he can get cancer free for a 5 yr!. term then they consider you N!.E!.D!. "no evidence of disease"
Good luck with the treatments, be there for him, he is in for a long haul!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Be strong when you're with him!. If he sees that you're upset about it, he's going to get upset!. Don't act differently than you normally would!. I would definitely encourage him to kick the smoking habit, if he didn't already!. As for coping, my dad had lung cancer and it really helped me to just talk about my feelings with my friends and family!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you smoke, stop with him!. If you don't, Help him find a way to stop!. I smoked for years and I found that eating popcorn helped with the hand to mouth habit!. Buy him a lot of popcorn!. Dont think of it as" Oh my God, you only have 4 years to live" Just continue to care for him the way you do now!. He may need that- Something in his life that has not or will not change!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
