My best friend since childhood,Jeff,more like a Brother than a friend,is lying in the hospital with cancer.I had no idea til yesterday just how bad it is.As I sat visiting with his family and other friends herds of doctors,nurses,insurance specialist,hospital reps so on and so forth just kept strolling in and laying more bad news on my friend.Myself,Jeff's Mother,Nancy and another classmate,Sherry,finally stepped out and grabbed one of the doctors before he could get away hoping for more answers.............in no uncertain terms he stated Jeff's surgery to remove the cancer left him with no rectum,no colon,no ileac(sp), no dowadnium(sp) and only 2/3's of his stomach,due to this he would likely starve to death before the cancer kills him.His colostomy bag fills as he eats and drinks.........no way to get the nutrition from the food nor hydration from the liquid.Sherry,Nancy and I stood there in shock and disbelief crying in each other's arms.I am still not completely over the shock after learning the severity of the situation.
I have lost family,close friends and comrades..........Only my grandfather who slowly dwindled away from pancreatic cancer hit me like this.I feel so helpless......the only thing I can do is stand by the family as we watch Jeff suffer.I wish this on no one.I hope and I pray none of you ever have to face this.
Now I have unashamedly attached a link as my friend could use the support both monetarily and in prayer.Whats really killing me here besides loosing my friend is the fact that Jeff is such a good person......he was raising his 7 year old grandson,Luke,because his son vanished a couple years ago and the mother wants nothing to do with the child.Jeff is one of those that would do anything for anybody,no questions asked.Why Lord why???
Anyway whether you contribute or not......please drop a prayer on my Friend.
