How do you get through a loved one suffering badly from cancer?!


Question: How do you get through a loved one suffering badly from cancer?
It's so sad. He has been battling cancer for over 2 years now. No matter what they seem to do it just seems to keep on spreading. It is now in his spine and he is in constant agony even when he has been given morphine and other drugs more potent than this. He is not even 50 yet and did not smoke or anything else like that - he was really fit and healthy - now he cannot even climb stairs at home without feeling breathless. It is so horrible to watch someone suffer this and there is absolutely nothing you can do to help. I cant even imagine how he must feel. Why does it always happen to the good people...anyone else out there going through this too?

Answers:

Sorry to hear of your bad news, I know what you are going through as I went through that agonising journey with my dad and my brother, they both died young, my dad at 69 yrs and my brother at 50 yrs. God Bless you, stay strong.



I just lost my brother in law last Wed. to metastasized colon cancer. He had it for 14 years and exhausted his treatment options and then went into experimental.He traveled around the world to get treatments that would last a year or two each. He battled with cancer in his spine and had no intestines to speak of at the end. I battled late stage lymphoma-- I pulled through. The chemo and lying in bed can leave you extremely weak. I remember struggling just to make it the two steps up into my house. That part does get better with time (if he pulls through) I wish you all the best and just be there for him and do whatever you can for support. Help his friends stay in contact with him by calling them with updates etc. Many friends will shy away when cancer is diagnosed but you can help them stay around and be his support. Keep him in as good a spirits as you can. Best wishes.
