The BIG C! It hits hard. Here on DemopolisLive, we even have one of our family members going through it. A really good friend of mine in Birmingham has it and has it bad. My husbands Aunt recently found out she has breast cancer. They found it soon and were able to remove it without a mastectomy, but she still has to go through chemo and radiation. Back to my friend in Birmingham, it has hit me hard. We were friends all through highschool. He and his brother all but lived at my house. We watched Dazed and Confused, Empire Records, and countless other movies countless times. He always had the coolest music, I'll never forget Da-Da-Da....He had a computer before computers were cool to have. He was a dork just like me and my sister and all our dorky friends. We weren't the coolest kids, but dang we knew how to have fun and do it without getting into trouble.

I've never had a friend find out they have cancer. Older family members yes, but not a friend. He starts 9 weeks of very intensive chemo today. Please remember him when you say your prayers. I know he'll be able to feel all the prayers even if he doesn't know where they are coming from.
