Indian beauty,
i don't think 'you want him to have cancer'
but you are panicking which is no use to you or your friend, if his symptoms are as you say he does need to get checked out by a doctor but they may not be anything serious.
You will need to have a positive and supportive attitude with your friend, tell him that you are sure he will be fine and encourage him to see a doctor.
My best friend has just been diagnosed with a very serious cancer, and I am devastated but I haven't let her see that.
All she sees from me is a positive outlook with a few laughs and giggles.
This is what she needs and proves it by telling me so.
So my advice to you is chill out and not look on the dark side, your friend could have something as simple as an infection, and you panicking will only make him feel worse.
Good luck and keep him smiling.

Positive attitude plays a big role in the persons health. This is actually a scientific fact that when you are negative it affects your immune symptom.

Flameangel how long has your friend had cancer?

What are they doing for it?

Has it been working?

Don't you agree that cancer is on the high rise in people now a days?

Yes I agree about the positive attitude.
My friend was only diagnosed a couple of months ago and she is now on chemotherapy, she has only had 4 weeks worth of treatment and her hair has just started to come out in clumps.
She is so depressed, also she keeps getting infections in the hole in her upper chest where her chemo pump is attached.
I think she's at her lowest point at the moment because of her hair, it has just hit her that she has cancer, we always associate hair loss with cancer and this has been the thing that has made it sink in for her.
She is a very strong woman so I know she is going to be fine, I just feel so sorry for her, she has another 14 weeks of chemo to go through.
