To young .

You know some times we don't value enough the friendships we make on line. In the cancer community there are many places we might travel. As well as many in similar situations as ours.
One thing as people we connect to those with similar stories. It doesn't really matter if we have the same cancer or not. Just that we do and we know what its like. It might not be the exact situation as ours but we bond due to cancer. Its a friendship at times that is beyond some minus cancer. The understanding shared...is just something less your there you can't imagine it.
Night before last in one of my communities a blog like forum . We lost one of our warriors Randy. A young man with Prostate Cancer. What was apparent to me was not only was he a fighter till the end. But so was his wife Jen. There was this love story that bloomed and cancer well enough said it seals the deal in some. Their story was so touching in drew you in. So grueling at times that it brought sobs from those who read.
His cancer spread like wild fire , finally to the brain causing his death. I know it was inevitable at one point that he was dying and not much could be done to change things. But like all of us with cancer. Jen and all of us wanted to keep the hope.

What gets me the most is that under the age of 50 no one checks certain cancers. Jen is right. They need to lower the age to check early . Randy was dxed at 47 his wife Jen was 41. He lived with this cancer since July of 2006 much longer then they ever thought. Randy leaves behind his wife Jen and his young boys.
Rip Randy. My heart and prayers are with Jen and her family today.

It kinda hits home knowing others with Prostrate Cancer as well. Guys out there get your checkups. Don't wait. Do it now if you feel there is a problem. Ladies if you have a man in your life you love. Please make sure he goes in and has a yearly exam.
