My best friend has been diagnosed with cancer

I went through this with my best friend two weeks before the pandemic lockdown where I live. Sorry to hear. Thankfully, it was stage 0 leukaemia.

What was good: -They got diagnosed during arguably one of the most hygienically conscientious times in human history. This is absolutely fantastic, as they were home for months straight, then literally were given their own room at work that absolutely no one goes into.

-I shuttled groceries and things, 100% quarantined to minimise the chance I might have picked up a virus (COVID or not) so that they went out as little as possible.

They are scheduled for the vaccine in a couple of days.

Oh, and take BERM, it’s a Honduras medication that has worked reeealllly well for him and a friend of his (with leukemia) that took it. My advice is to do the same thing that we did: isolate as much as possible, and as for you, help make that possible.

Good luck to you guys :)
