Bad News

I found out today that a friend of mine has cancer. It's not public knowledge so I won't mention names as I know a few people that he might not want to know might read this. I'm worried about him. He's a nice guy, and he doesn't deserve this. Also he's known for a month and didn't tell me...another friend told me tonight that he'd gone into hospital for an operation to remove it. I wish he'd told me. But on the other hand I can understand why he didn't. I wouldn't want that conversation either, and there's other stuff that happened not long ago that might have made him think twice. Still, I wish I'd have known, if only so I could give him support and sympathy. Hopefully the operation will be a success, and it won't have spread. I have my fingers crossed and he's in my thoughts.
