I just don't understand. I really just don't understand.

My friend has cancer.

I don't know what to say. I don't know that there is anything to say. I think that's it:

My friend has cancer.

He has cancer of the lungs and of the lymph glands. He's just found out and he tells me it's not looking good.

I didn't know what to say. What can you say? I'm sorry?

I don't want this to be happening to him, but I can't do anything to change it. I've never felt so helpless. I mean, how is this happening? He's so young. He's so healthy, he's so clever and vibrant and full of life.

It doesn't make sense.

I feel so sad. I really feel so sad.
