Death of fellow patients

 

This is the hardest part.

 

During your time you get your treatment, you will no doubt make new friends who are in the same boat as yourself.

 

It’s a fact that not everybody pulls through.

 

This is the time when you start to question yourself, and ask the inevitable “why me?” questions.

 

   Why have I got this? Why me?       Why am I still here? Why me?       Why am I not dead? Why me?

 

Don’t let this happen. Speak to someone about it. Talk to a counsellor at your hospital or discuss it with your consultant.

 

Don't bottle it up inside you. It will only eat away at you along with your own cancer.

 

During my time with cancer I had to say goodbye to:  Alan (Chunky), Brendan, Margaret and James.

 

All of them very nice people with the nastiest disease.

 

I spent many a long night wondering what life was all about, and why some survived while others didn’t and it’s a long, painful and scary process, with no real satisfactory answer at the end of it. So don’t be afraid to ask for help right at the start.
