I have

I lost a very close family member to brain cancer 2 days before Christmas after a 6 month battle with it. I say battle, it wasn't really. They were too far gone by the time they finally got seen and diagnosed.

5 months of that were spent in bed being kept 'comfortable' with morphine etc and barely able to acknowledge family when they visited.

They died less than a year after retiring, just missing out on their only grandchild's first Christmas. That grandchild is 4 months old.

I helped nurse my dad through prostate cancer not long ago. First lockdown. I won't bore you with the gritty details. It wasn't much fun. It spread to his neck lymph nodes and across his face. I tried hard to stay awake with him the night he died, but I fell asleep on the floor next to his bed. He died in those 30 minutes. I'm still sad I wasn't holding his hand but at least he wasn't alone.

Now, you claim to be an empath. Are you really?

I've had a look at myself and I wouldn't wish cancer on someone who disagrees with me about football and I'm very, very, very comfortable with that.
