Is it cancer?

2 weeks ago, a friend of mine told me that he has been to hospital and taking pills. Upon asking, he said he need to undergo some sort of surgery, well might be a few of them. He told me the date and time of his operation, but decline to elaborate further on what kind of surgery it is, and what he is facing.

Well, I respect him and could do nothing except feel sad for him, and wish him good luck. But I am so curious. What he is facing? "It is a long walk" ... what kind of illness that you are facing? You have been acting like it is not a big deal. You joke, you laugh as always, which scares me. Are you trying to act happy in front of your family and friends? Or you feel that I am not a good friend of you and you just can't share that with me? Well, the fact is, even if you tell me, I can do nothing for you except feel sad. Maybe this is why you choose to keep quiet and suffer yourself.

You said that you will tell me oneday perhaps. I pray for you to be well again, and you will tell me that you won the battle.

God bless you, Garry

Just be glad that he deemed you a friend close enough to share this kind of news with.

Anyway, the most important point is to stay positive. If you - as his friend - cannot remain positive, how do you expect him - the one in a worse condition that you are - to have maintain a strong drive to recover?

A friend close enough? Am I? When he told me half and keep me guessing and worrying? I rather this, don't tell me at all or tell me the whole thing.
