Cancer-y story

A person close to me(a.k.a. XYZ) is experiencing the worst scenario ever. Her brother was diagnosed to have Liver Cancer which has been metastasized to his pancreas. Her sister on the other hand has breast mass. I received this news through a conversation with my father two days ago. I was bothered why she didnt let me know. As i ended my conversation with my dad, i felt sorry for XYZ and her family. and i cant help but cry after the phone call. XYZ's brother is still young i think he is still on his late 30's with wife and 3 wonderful kids one of which is my god daughter who is still going to enter teenage years. While her sister's sons are still very very young. I think they have endured a lot of hardships this year not to mention how their first Nursing graduate flunked the boards. Its so uneasy to tell them everything will be fine if you know that not everything is fine... I dont have a sibling and i dont exactly know the feeling of having one but i know the pain that a person endures when someone close to him is feeling the worst kind of pain ever. I hope God will give them grace and strength.. I am still hoping for the better... I still hope everything will be fine soon.
