Not so great news

My aunt just told me that my cousin, who has been battling cancer since he was 19, was not doing so well this weekend and they took him to the hospital and the doctors said there isn't really anything more they can do for him and they are going to be putting him on hospice care. They also said that is time left is very limited.

Granted I am not very close with this cousin and don't see him a whole lot anymore (he's actually like my 4th or 5th cousin) but just the thought that this kid has been battling cancer since he was 19 years old and he may not even live to see his 23rd birthday at the end of May really upsets the hell out of me. I just really feel life is just so unfair sometimes. He was the sweetest kid growing up and it's sad that his life has to end like this.

Sorry for being a downer but I have been sitting at my cube crying for the past 30 minutes and I needed to get this out.

I am so sorry...nobody should have to go through that, especially at such a young age.

I am so sorry, I will keep your family in my prayers...

My best friend battled cancer for 2 years and finally lost his battle at the age of 24. It was the hardest thing I had to deal with losing him...but I carry his strength with me everyday. Whenever I think the world is too hard or I get down on myself, I just think of him and how he fought to the very end. I miss him everyday :(

Your cousin is a very strong person for having to battle this disease for as long as he has, and he will continue to battle for as long as he is here. I will continue to pray for him.
