Oh sweetheart I am so sorry to read this about your friend, do persuade him to go to the hospital if you can, has he had chemo and the usual treatments,? try and think positive thoughts about your friend and I am sure some PT prayers will go a long way in giving you some comfort, know i am thinking of you and understand how distressed you are right now, HUGS and love from me, and I sure hope Chad will have the strength and courage to beat this.
