You have lost too many friends and colleagues to that. Sorry they had to deal with that, and sorry to you for losing your friends and colleagues.

Yes, cancer really sucks. Sorry about your losing your friend to it.

Been fighting it for years.

And its so simple - uncontrolled cell growth.

Seems like they should have found a cure already.

A survivor here as well, but ever cautious.

Sorry to hear of your friend.

They have. It just isn't profitable.

Condolences on the loss...the curse of cancer has taken so much from so many of us

Very sorry to hear that, Greg.
My co-Grandpa is battling more aggressive bladder cancer than mine; fortunately now in the care of a super urologist at UCSD.

Sorry to hear that

I lost one of my three best friends to cancer two years ago in March. Yes: Cancer does suck.

thanks all

I knew he was Stage 4 terminal for the past 2 years and I kept him working

I was at the point where if I didn't hear from him every couple of days I'd fire off an email

He always responded - maybe a day later but I knew he was in agony (he never let on but I could hear it in his voice)

I thought I would be ready when the call came, but I wasn't.

Writing his obit to send around the company today.

I am sorry for the loss of your friend.
When I worked at an in-patient Hospice facility, I would receive a patient roster with the type of admission listed.
For 95% of the patients the cause was:
Cancer or COPD.
These two are what's killing all of us.
