Today she was taken from home to palliative care.
This afternoon I went to hospital to see my friend and we have been friends since 89.
I just want to help her as much as I can and it makes me sad to see the changes in her and the progression of her illness.
I just hope and pray for a miracle for her and that she makes it through Christmas & new year.

Just read this @Former-Member. So sorry to read of your loss, especially at this time of the year. Cancer is such an insidious disease - I have lost many family and friends to it. My husband still is successfully battling it.
You sound good outwardly- hope you are okay. Are you home alone? Thinking of you and sending you a hug and lots of love 💕
