Stage Four

OK, so another bad phone call. This time my friend who'd called me about the cancer said the tests have come back that it's Stage 4. I don't know what to say or do and feel very helpless. I've offered to go to chemo (which begins tomorrow) but not this time. I offered to hang out and watch a movie during the recovery from chemo and this is something we may do. It's unchartered territory, this close-friend-having-cancer stuff, and trying to respect boundaries while being supportive is something I'm trying to do right. Time will tell, but in the meantime I'm just so pissed off at them having to go through this.
