On April 25th, I lost a friend of mine. Craig DuFour.
Four months later, three days after my birthday.
Another great friend of mine passed away from a second cancer attack, he's been battling for months now.
Rest in Peace my friend.

Thanks DA, and everyone.
Online, just on a website he was very much beloved. He'd post some of the most intellegent things, about cancer, about how it effected him, his family, his girlfriend. Touching to say the least.
I wish I could find some more post of his and share it with everyone.
Here's his tribute thread, it's just an internet forum but he made such an imact, through his life experiences.
http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70442
When I finally got to see him again in July, he looked horrible physically, but his spirits remained high. Even when suffering from cancer, he put 200% towards running a video game tournament (not an easy task, I've ran a few myself) so everyone that was there could be taken care of. Soon after that, he left Florida. He spent his dieing days next to the woman he loved in Hawaii.
I'm going to search for more of his posts when I get back from school. Everyone should read it, everyone should be aware of cancer and it's effects physically, and emotionally. The writing of Brian Graham made both very real.
*I wrote that on another site I visit often (www.chasermag.com) I even made a thread about the first time he beat cancer. Here's an exerpt of his log from almost a year ago he made on www.shoryuken.com. I encourage everyone to read it. Cancer is VERY real.

2:00am
Wake up. Realize you're suffering from mucousitis (thickening of the spit and mucous in the mouth and throat) as a result of radiation. Cough it out so that you don't choke, but be very careful not to do it too hard or you'll throw up and your stomach acid will burn your already decimated throat, also from radiation.
4:00am
See above.
6:00am
See above.
8:00am
See above.
10:00am
Realize that sleep is futile. Cough out mucous again. You cough too hard and blood comes out in tiny portions, making you cough harder until your gag reflex is triggered and you struggle with yourself until you inevitably throw up and stomach acid burns your throat. The pain does not subside until 10 minutes. Remove the dressing around the tube that goes into your stomach and clean around it with peroxide. Take a shower (highlight of the day). Sit down and pour liquid calorie supplement into your stomach tube using a 60CC syringe. Also use this method for water. Because your mouth and throat are so destroyed, you can no longer swallow anything my mouth.
12:30noon
Check e-mail and SRK because you have no life because you are so sick. Every five minutes, you go to the sink and spit out mucous and wash mouth with water.
1:00pm
Leave for radiation therapy. Cannot drive yourself because the last time you tried, you coughed uncontrollably until it triggered your gag reflex and you threw up on yourself, and you nearly lost your vision trying to focus through the pain. On the highway.
1:30pm
Lay down on a cold, hard table that positions itself into a machine that looks like a cross between an x-ray and an MRI. Put in mouthpiece and get strapped down from the shoudlers up. Go through 10 minutes of therapy. Get unstrapped, move quickly to the sink so you can cough out the mucous the collected in the back of your throat. Feel like the next hour or so.
3:00pm
Feeding time. Smell lunch cooking downstairs. Realize you will not taste a morsel of food for months. Concentrate on something else.
5:00pm
Food again. Check e-mail and SRK. If you're lucky, you haven't coughed and thrown up anything.
6-9pm
Repeat process above. Watch Adult Swim on TV.
10:00pm
Prepare for bed. Put towel down on pillow hoping that maybe the mucous will just drain out of your mouth and you will be able to sleep. But it never does.
Midnight
Maybe by now you've gone to sleep. Probably not. Because sleeping is the most uncomfortable thing you do now. But then, everything is uncomfortable. You can't hardly speak. You can't eat. You can't taste anything. If you yawn it hurts so bad it makes you cough until you gag and puke. Try to tell yourself things could be worse - remember what it was like on chemotherapy before they took you off of it because it was making you so sick it was unimaginable. Try to motivate yourself to make through the last week and a half of therapy. Things will probably get worse.
Don't ing get cancer.

Good God. Reading that log sends shivers down my spine. If this is horrible to read, then I can't imagine experiencing it.
Cancer is a terrible thing to happen. My sincerest condolences. :( |
