Oh my god! I'm so sorry!

I've never had anyone close to me affected by a disease as such, but a lot of people in my family have had cancer at least once in their life or already have it, so I know what it's like to lose a loved one to a disease. *hugs* I wish all the best to you, your family, his family, and anyone that so much as met him. I know how much it hurts.

*hugs*

I lit a candle and called several of my friends and asked them to. I didn't hang up until I was positive that all of them did.

Ahh damn... I'm so sorry girl.

My ultimate goal in life is to become a biomedical engineer and get to work on cures for cancer and AIDS/HIV... and it seems like the closer I get to my goal, the more people I at least know of fall ill with what I want to someday treat.

I'll go light a candle. My prayers are with you and your friend.

Really, thank you all so much for your kind words and for lighting the candles. You have no idea what it means to me.

that's terrible. I am very sorry.

however, not to be a downer, but the virtual candle charity deal was that for every candle lit Bristol-Myers would donate $1 to HIV/AIDS research, but only for the first 100,000 candles/dollars. That number was reached long ago (which is great!) so they aren't currently making any donations.

BUT it's still a great thing for awareness, etc., and maybe BM will decide to make further donations in response to the incredible number of people who have participated.

And I still lit a candle anyway.

Oh, Panda. I'm so sorry. That's got to be so hard, especially around the holidays. Youre in my thoughts.
