A tale of two friends...

A tale of two friends...


Two met in a 7th grad art class.

Starting out as enemies.....

They tended bully each other and were exceptionally mean in their criticism of the other.

One friend was popular, the other was not.

Because they were both smart, talented girls, they had several classes together as they were advanced for their age and tended to sit near each other in all of their classes so as to allow their continued rivalry and bullying of each other.

The enemies became friends by the end of the year....

Best friends

Their friendship continues to this day, each knowing the other inside and out. Thirty four years of 'what do you think of my new glasses' and 'do you like my new haircut'.

Thirty four years went by in a flash.

One friend married and divorced, suffering all of life's tragedies with the other by her side at the drop of a hat.

One friend secure in her life, good marriage, supporting family with the other friend happily living vicariously and cherishing all those good moments.

I found out today that my very best friend of thirty four years has cancer.

I'm at a loss.

Sorry to hear about your friend, I hope that she has a good prognosis. Cancer isn't necessarily a death sentence. My best to both of you..

I"m sorry to read this post

there are many types of cancer, but, very few "best" friends

be strong for her and for you

research what her specifics are so you can help her and prepare yourself for this challenge

many people have a high recovery and survival rate

good luck

I hope it’s a treatable situation. My heart goes out for the both of you. The only consolation is that she has a wonderful friend in you.

I have early stage Prostate Cancer, I trust my Doctors, and I am fighting it!
I have no intention of letting this disease rule my life!
From what you said about your early years, your friend will fight it too! You need to be strong, and support her in that fight

Cancer knows no bounds, it’s indiscriminate. Here, the statistics are now one in two will develop it. Early detection and treatment with a strong support network and positive attitude does make a difference. Be the friend that she needs, not what you think she needs.

I understand how you feel.

Yet be cautious with your emotions. These days it's not always a verdict; more often (with modern treatment), it's a challenge that can be defeated.
I wish the best for your friend.
