God is the only to know this!. But remember that aside from all new medicines, treatments, etc!., the best they need is everyone reassuring them, keeping their spirits high!. Remember how good laughter is!. It is truly a medicine in it's own!.

As possible that doctors permit, make sure they are active when you're around without overdoing of course!. If sunshine has not been banned from doctors, then share with them in walks, play, etc!., out in yard, beach, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Treatment is getting better and better nowadays!. Like you said your friend has suffered most his life and he is still here!.

Enjoy life to the full!.

This is so sad especially as they are so young!.

I wish them a happy and healthy life xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

It's too hard to tell because you didn't say what type of cancer either of them has!. Finding cancer in other places is not good at all though :(Www@Answer-Health@Com

first of i would like to let you know that my prayers are with them!.!.!.second of all alot of it depends on the type of cancer!.!.!.
good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

can't answer that sorry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to work in oncology (cancer)!. The type does have a bit to do with it but I have seen over and over that attitude plays a huge role!. That sounds lame but it's true! Those with a fighting spirit, a lot of optimism, lots of love surrounding them, a belief they were going to live, oftentimes beat huge odds!. Those who believed they were going to die, got very depressed, suffered most often!.

Their age and doctors come into play too!. They're young which is a good thing!. Their bodies have a strong ability to survive and will fight hard!. So many advances have been made in cancer treatments that there are not many cancers left with no hope at all, unless they weren't found early enough!. Cancer is not the death sentence it used to be but we still find ourselves cringing when we hear that word!.

Of course, I send positive thoughts and prayers their way! But sometimes we forget what the friends are going through too!. No one pays much attention to how scary and sad it is for you!. You want to be cheerful but you feel scared yourself, and sad that you might lose a good friend!. While you don't need to share these feelings with your friends who have cancer, your family and other friends can listen!. If they are telling you to chin up and dismissing your fears, find an online support group where you can share!. You can even write down how you feel!. Just don't keep it in!.

You are young to have to learn about things like this and to know you have to face your own mortality one day!. You may wonder if it can happen to you!. The chances are very very low and it is uncommon that you would have two friends with cancer!. I truly hope they recover, and very quickly, but if anything bad should happen, again get help for yourself!. Dealing with those kinds of strong emotions alone, almost never works!. Others who have been through it themselves will be able to understand and you don't have to explain what it feels like!. Professionals can help with ways to cope!. We never really get over things like that, but we find ways to make our lives easier!.

There is a lot to be hopeful for!. As I mentioned, cancer treatments have progressed so much!. The odds are in favor that the boys will recover!. I know this must weigh heavy on your mind for you to post about it!. Is there a family member or close friend of either of the boys you can talk to!? The parents may be too busy and too emotional for that themselves, but someone else!? Maybe they can help you understand what is going on and ease your fears a bit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
