Cancer....

SGH · February 2016

So sorry to hear this my friend. Anytime I hear "cancer", my heart skips a beat. I think we all have been affected by it in some way at one time or another. It has truly became the modern day plague. Of all the things we waste and pour millions of dollars into, I can't help but to think that a cure for cancer would take presidence over the minuscule nonsense. However for some reason it does not. It's sad really. Again, so sorry to hear about your friend. I will be hoping and praying for a miricale. I wish y'all the very best my friend.

You are a good friend.. May God bless you, your friend and his entire family in his time of need..

As tough as the visit may have been, I'm sure everyone appreciated your presence. You know you did the right thing.
God speed to all.

This is something that you can be proud of. Instead of just saying "Poor Joe", you actually took the time and effort to go and see him and his family. He might have not even known you were there, but you did. I wish the best for him and his family and for you. No regrets, buddy.

You might try singing or talking reassuringly. The hearing is last to go, and songs often will bring up sheltering memories.

This, and favorite music, or any music.

When my mom was passing, she actually developed an affinity for rap music. It seemed to perk her up and make her smile.

I have an uncle that just beat cancer.

My wife has an Aunt and her Grandmother that both only a few weeks (or days) left to live because of cancer.

I hardly ever use profanity on message boards, but **** CANCER!!!

Go see your buddy. Cancer is a son of a **** and you never know when he is going to take a turn for the worse.

You have done a noble task for both your friend and yourself. May God Bless your friend with his struggles.

Wanted to stop by on Thursday morning but they were having a bad day and asked folks to not visit. Apparently the Cancer is spreading quickly. No more x-rays are being taken of Joes chest. His heart is skipping beats. Apparently his tracea is getting hit hard. Ultrasound was done of his heart over the weekend.
My heart breaks whenever I think of Sandra. What a terrible thing to have to witness....the love of your life getting "eaten alive" by this evil, horrid disease.
Would like to thank you folks for your thoughts and prayers.
Folks, tell the people in your life who are important to you how you feel about them. Hug your loved ones....and tell them that you love them....daily.

Cancer is one of the few things that scares the $hit outta me. My dad is a survivor as is my MIL. Sucks. Glad you made it so see Joe

Concur. I will and I do. Keep the strength brother. You are a good man.

Joe woke up for a while today. Was alert enough to find out he is terminal. On their Go Fund Me page Staci, their daughter posted a picture of Sandra and Joe talking....bought tears my eyes.

Man I'm so sad to hear this. Even though I don't know him or yourself from Adam. Cancer has touched my life more times than I care to mention (have lost countless family and friends to it). I am a Survivor myself. Try to enjoy the little things in life, the moments...and your friendship with your buddy. Life is too damn short! Oh yeah & Fûck You Cancer!!!

Could not agree more about your final statement. A survivor... good deal. My wife, Ernestina, is a breast cancer survivor. Cancer sucks....

Just went through the toughest year of a 30 year marriage to my lovely wife navigating through chemo, a double mastectomy, etc. a road I would not wish on anyone... I feel for you, your friend, and his wife.

Sounds like you are planning on making the trip - safe travels to you.

Thoughts with you and yours Jason! In the tall grass too with my brother-in-law, great guy. All good thoughts to everyone fighting the bastard that is cancer.

YukonRon · February 2016

Jason, you are being brave and kind when most could not. You are a helluva good person, we all have an appreciation for your deeds and struggle.
peace to you and yours.

westernbbq · February 2016

Best prayers to Joe. And if you can, go see him.

Jai-Bo · February 2016

Glad you got to pay him a visit....we never know our expiration date. A buddy in my hunting club died a week after opening season at the club and I was already home. ida rather seen him or been there then seeing him again at the viewing! I battled 2 bouts of cancer and became stronger but with all the crap out in the world we come into contact with, everyone is at risk!

Mosca · February 2016

I'm glad you made it, and that he knew you were there to see him. And it helped Sandra, too, knowing that he has friends who will answer.

dougcrann · March 2016

Looks like Joe is nearing the end of his battle. Heart rate, blood pressure and breathing are starting to bounce around. Has developed some sort of "Third Space" trouble. Last rites were done yesterday....

SGH · March 2016

So sorry to hear this my friend. God bless y'all.

Ozzie_Isaac · March 2016

Sorry, this is a bad deal all around.

Well...made it to Phoenix. Met Sandra at the hospital. Joe was asleep. His eyes opened a few times while I was at his bedside. Couldn't help but notice the look of fear in his eyes.

Praying for all three of you that any fear in his eyes is replaced by the comfort of knowledge very soon.

YukonRon · March 2016

This is so sad. Our thoughts are with you all right now. Condolences. You are a good person and friend to be there during this time.

MaC122 · March 2016

Here I was bitching about politics when it really doesn't matter in the long run. Pretty selfish of me and I'm sorry about that. I know its not much, but ill say a prayer.

Slabotnick · March 2016

Praying for you guys

jabam · March 2016

Condolences and prayers from our family. The world is a better place with friends like you around.

Ladeback69 · March 2016

My thoughts and prayers goes out your friend, you and his family in these tough times. I have a close friend going through something like this with his mom. I am glad you went to see him.

Cancer....
