Yes, I have. I lost my very best friend of 35 years to inoperable lung cancer (she never smoked) 1 1/2 years ago. She died only 3 months after diagnosis, and I kept telling myself that her treatments and meds would work and just couldn't believe that she might not survive. I tried to be upbeat for her and for me, too. Her loss was so very hard and it still hurts. I will love her forever and miss her always. Although I had only one best friend, she had many "best" friends. She was a very special person, but I guess God needed her more in heaven than we needed her here.
So I know how you feel and what you are going through. If it helps to cry, cry. It will help to talk about your feelings, so talk - people will listen and understand.
You will never forget, but it will get easier.
I send you a big hug, sympathy, empathy and my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss, I know exactly what you are going through.I lost my best friend 5 years ago to breast cancer and it was one of the hardest things I ever went through. She was 50 years old and was past the 5 or 7 year. whichever it is, mark. Cancer is such a horrible desease. I found out 2 weeks ago that my dad has lung cancer and they can't operate and he can't take chemo or radiation, so we have no idea what stage it is in, but the doctor told us he was sure it had already spread because the tumor has wrapped around the bronchial tube. He said once you can see the tumor on x-ray that it usually has spread. He is already coughing up blood and getting so weak. My mother, brother, the doctor and myself chose not to tell dad since there is nothing they can do, the doctor told him he has pneumonia, which he does, and that it will go away but will come back. It is very stressful for all of us.
