Good friends are hard to come by. Prayers for you both.
OP
I'm going to pass on....
I'm going to pass on to him what you guys have said.
He is a tough guy, he's taken all this stuff in stride all his life and kept on going. When it came to the cancer though, outside help was called for.

You know, sometimes I am tempted to feel sorry for myself.
It also seems that every time I feel that way, I hear another story about or meet someone who has had it so much worse than me or who is in immediate need of serious prayer.
It always humbles me and knocks me back into the reality that many folks have had or are having it much harder than I ever have.
Prayers up from TampaBay.

Everybody has trouble.....
Everybody has trouble, even bad trouble. But somebody will come along with REAL BAD trouble and put things in perspective. It makes you feel lucky to have just your own troubles.

Update: I've lost my best friend.
My friend Steve was doing ok the last few months, but the chemo wasn't working and last week he took a bad turn. They decided to try a new approach and put in a port for another type of chemo. They had a lot of trouble getting the port in, and they had a lot of trouble getting him out of anesthesia. He seemed ok for a visit and I was planning on going up today but then he wasn't well at all. His friend called Sunday morning and said that he had passed away in the night. I know it sounds cliche', but it was merciful to end his suffering. I'm really glad for the many years we had as friends. He was just so close to finding some real happiness when he got sick.
Thanks to everybody for your support and prayers. I believe that it helped ease his way the last few months.

I am saddened to read of the passing of your friend. I understand your feelings on mercy as thinking about someone you care about suffering is agonizing.
My prayers of comfort are for you and his loved ones.
