Hey. My name is Bryn and I am a survivor of Hodgkins Lymphoma, and also a part of the core group of TLC. I’ve seen friends come and go quite rapidly in the past few years. Making friends through cancer is best part about having it…and sometimes the worst. I’m listening if you need to talk. My email is btmugnolo@aol.com. I’m glad you found a place to vent.

Leah,
Thank you for your kind words. Even though I know that my friends have impacted my life, I still sit sometimes and wonder why them and not me? I know that everything happens and God has a plan. I have had my moments lately where I find myself picking up the phone to call my friend Shane and then it hits me again that he isn’t here anymore. He was the one I would call at any given moment and he was there for me. It has been a rough few months, but I know that he is watching over me. They all are.
I have a definite gratitude about life because I know how precious it is.

Thank you!

Hi Domi and Justin,

I have to say Domi, that when I read your post—I totally know that feeling.
I myself am a two time cancer survivor and I’ve lost more than a few friend to this disease.
Unfortunately, it’s a reality in this special community of friends- losing someone who has been so much a part of our coping.

You know what though, as I read your response I was so moved by your maturity. ‘If those people hadn’t been in my life, I would not be the same’. It’s remarkable that you can remember that. Sometimes the pain shuts us down…but you sound like you have a lot of gratitude about life.

It is so hard though. I give you that for sure.

Hang on to that belief…Thinking of you.

I totally know what you mean. If those people hadn’t been in my life, I would not be the same. They left imprints on my heart and are big inspirations to me.
Im so sorry to hear that you have to go through treatment as well. It sucks. Just keep your head up (:

Hey, I know how ya feel. I am right now living with cancer waiting for it to pop up again. But my brother lost his life to AML Leukemia, and I kept on asking my self why did he have to go, why did god let him go. But all I know is I am glad he was around for I dont think I would be the same with out him.
