Stage 4 cancer friends

I have said it before and I will say it time and time again, being friends with a bunch of other cancer girls has been/is one of the most beautiful yet hardiest relationships I have ever been in.

With your non cancer friends, you don't talk about medical trials, who of your "on-line friends" who have passed away, you don't go wig shopping, you  don't talk about what you want your funeral to be like, you don't have to schedule breakfast around everyone's chemo schedules, you don't have a dull ache in your heart when you get a text saying the appointment wasn't good...these things are NOT normal for most 35ish year olds.

No one ever said anything about this would be easy, BUT no one ever told me this.
