Advice: I am trying to organize something to help my friend (who is an older gentleman) that has cancer. Hes has mast cell lymphoma and prostrate cancer and he started chemo this past week.
What would be a good thing to send? A lot of people want to do food but I'm not sure how much he will be capable of eating during chemo. Any other ideas?
Rant: I'm getting completely worn out with this cancer thing. Two years ago my cousin was diagnosed with lymphoma. It keeps coming back. He ended up not coming to thanksgiving because he was sick again. Then my friend with the brain tumor is still having trouble and still having to go through immense physical therapy for it. Then my friend mentioned above. One of Rhonda's cousins died of bone cancer the day before thanksgiving. And there is another lady (cousin's in law but she comes to holiday stuff with us) who is suffering from bone cancer. She came to thanksgiving but is now back in the hospital and not doing well.
Then my dad texts me last night that my other cousin, who was absolutely FINE over thanksgiving went to the doctor because his knee was hurting and he has bone cancer too. It's just so random as I said, he was fine. Just a little bit of pain in his knee and that's what they found. He's being transferred to MD Anderson. Between him and my cousin with lymphoma, there's 9 kids age 13 to 2 who have fathers with cancer. I feel so bad for my aunt and uncle. My aunt is still recovering from surgery herself on her leg and can barely walk. But it's just never ending for them.
I just want people to stop getting sick!
It seems like since my mom had her tumor, it's just non stop cancer everywhere. If you could spare a thought or prayer for any of them, it would be appreciated.
