Cancer sucks

As a cancer patient, I always use to tell people that God allowed me to get diagnosed with cancer due to the fact that I have a voice, and that one day, a person will go through the same obstacles as i am now dealing with in life, and need to hear my words of comfort. A few months ago, I had gotten a friend request on facebook from a complete stranger who admires my braveness and ability to continue on living a fearless life as a person who is struggling with stage four ovarian cancer. We would talk about things like, how i remain positive throughout this disease of mine and how i found out. I always look at life and the people that i come across, as a meaning of purpose. I believe that certain people enter your life for specific reasons, and although i may not pin point those exact reasons most of the time, I like to take lessons and learned from my friendships with people. This man that I had met and conversed with was hospitalised a few weeks ago, due to pain in his hip. Come to find out, he has just been diagnosed with stage four lymphoma and it has spread to his bone marrow. Who would have thought? I find it an honor to be a person of comfort to this man during his time of struggle, for I did not have a friend who could relate to cancer with me at my time of being diagnosed. So with all of this being said, Don't take people for granted. You never really know your true purpose in their life and how much of an effect you can be on them.
