My son has had a life long friend since the age of 5yrs, his name is Neil and he is now 26yrs.
They played together, laughed together, cried together and got into all sorts of mischief together. He was there for my Son when his baby stillborn and was the only that could get through to him.
Five months ago he was diagnosed with Cancer, he has had treatment but yesterday I was told he has 6 months at the most to live.
He has a beautiful 4yr daughter of whom he has custody and his current girlfriend is now pregnant.
He was taken back into hospital last night because he is in so much pain.
My Son is devasted and trying so hard to be brave for his friend.
All I am asking is that you keep this young man in your thoughts, I am not religious so will not ask for your prayers.
BellaTheRebel48: I'm soooo very sorry!!! I've just been crying myself remembering how much pain my dad was in before he died of cancer. I sure wish they could come up with a cure for every type of cancer. I felt so helpless watching my dad just whither away. Most of my family is gone due to cancer.
I don't attend church, but I will pray.
Take care,
Bella

I am so sorry it has made me think and put things into perspective I moan about such stupid things, then something like this happens and it jolts you into what really matters.
