life as we know it

Dear reader, if indeed anyone reads this, this is me trying to make any sort of sense of what has occured over the last couple of weeks. Names have been changed to protect who knows who, probably me. My old english teacher probably should stop now or explode in a furry of spelling and gramatical mistakes, sorry mis rodgers you failed.
The story so far... for weeks a friend of mine has been ill. First the doctor said it was IBS. Then miraculosly she became sudenly diabetic, then not. then she had Plurisy. takeing big doses of pain killers she became unable to eat, throwing up constantly and in great pain. she hd huge balc rings round her eyes and looked simply awful. Eventuly she went yellow, even her eyeballs went yellow. Another visit to the doctors and she was sent imediaetly to hospital where they decided she had gallstones.... till they did a scan and now they say she has cancer of the liver , pancreas etc etc. At the moment they are hopeing to control it for a time, a years life has been mentioned but that seems highly optimistic. They were hopeing to start cemo therapy yesterday but she was so dehydrated they couldnt do that or today it seems. Tho from a phone call an hour ago she maye be undergoing it right now. what complicates it is she has a seven year old son. We (her friends) are hopeing that she will come back to her home and have some time with him, its our only hope really. My wife and i looked after her son over the week end and handed him to another mutual friend for the rest of the week. In the past she has said and now says infaticly that he is to live with our mutual friend if anything happens to her. yesterday i tried to impress on her that they must organize it properly so the sociel workers dont get thier filthy little hands on the poor lad.

Today ive had to tell two people onthe phone what has happend, it dont get any easier. my mum died from cancer and i saw it happen, my mate from collage died from cancer of the pancreas too, i was told after he died, but that didnt make it easier to handle to randomness of it. I sthis how we end?.. in an overly hot hospitla ward, surounded by terribly thin peopel with no hair? carred for by imposibly young and bright doctors...
