A friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer about 14 months ago... Her name is Amanda and she has been fighting so hard to beat this thing, and over the summer she did! She was going to come back to school most likely after the first of the year, I couldn't wait. Don't get me wrong though, Amanda wasn't my Best Friend, she was my friend though, I talked to her and we hung out a few times.
So this week I find out that her cancer is back and it has spread to her brain... she isn't going to make it... they give her a month at the most, but in reality it could just be another week, even just a few days... This has been so hard on my whole group of friends. Me and two others went to visit her at the hospital on Monday and she looked horrible, I'm not gonna lie, it scared me... She was hooked up to oxygen and on so many pain killers that she didn't even know we were there...
What this has done to my school is kinda well amazing. Everyone is doing so much to try and help, raise money for her family and such. In just under 4 hours of a bake sale we earned over $544, mostly in donations.
Today someone said that she died last night... I really hope this isn't true... I'm still at school and have no idea at the moment. I'm supposed to go out of town this weekend, and I'm not sure if I can... I have kind of accepted that fact, but many of my friends haven't and I almost feel I need to be here for them...
So please if you are reading this, pray to whatever you believe in for Amanda's family. It would be much appreciated!
I will probably be making more blogs about this subject, I just need someplace to get this all out...
