Just got a "this is goodbye" call from a long-time friend with terminal cancer. She is a good deal younger than I and in no way deserves the highly aggressive colon cancer that has now taken over her body. However, she seems to have risen to the challenge of dying with dignity and maybe even a little black humour. I only hope I can do so well when my turn comes. Indeed, I wish you all a dignified death; just not an imminent one, please :-/ Feeling bummed out. All sympathy gratefully received.
Your a beacon of light here, I'm sorry you've endured this, yet glad you got to experience your friend. I'm here if you ever want to talk, got a crappy diagnosis last year & recently had more skin cancer removed, getting tired, I know. BIG ((((HUG))))

Thanks, and ((((HUG)))) back! I think I may be suffering from a bit of survivor's guilt: I've been *very* lucky to have lived this long, and the end is not yet in sight. Sorry to hear you are not so fortunate! That said, they did just hack another lump out of my leg and I have 30 stitches to prove it, so at least I feel qualified to comment. I'll PM you.

@buddhabob - thanks, mine was on my chest, a basal cell carcinoma (less evasive form) so am grateful another one was removed. Grew up in Ca. sun, bummer.
