I was following my friend Adam's blog since I met him at the cancer center. I noticed that he hadn't updated his blog in a few months. The last post was about his clinical trial had been failing... Two days ago I was browsing Facebook and came across his page- the top post was an "I will miss you," along with a picture. This was back in May. ..
I didn't know him all that well, but I often thought about him and checks his blog every few weeks or so to see how he was doing. He was actually the one who gave me the idea to start this blog. He was a really nice guy. I remember talking to him about how his cancer had also returned- his reaction had been nothing but anger and frustration. I went to see him in the hospital during one of his treatments, and it was long and had made him so sick. I see why he was angry. The cancer had stolen his way of life- he loved ultimate frisbee and the cancer was in his leg so he couldn't run. Cancer made every part of his life a struggle, even in the end. I am grateful that my treatments weren't so bad, and that I am currently in remission. I'm just so sad for all the people in my life that I knew who died. It's still a horrible struggle to mend my life after the cancer, but at least I am healthy enough to try.
Rest in peace Adam. You will be missed.
