Over the last two weeks, I have lost two friends (both named John) to colon cancer which was discovered only in December and one friend (Stella) due to a liver problem diagnosed on 5th Jan. My offshore friend informed me in a email yesterday that he has been diagnosed with cancer of the Thyroid but it is in early stages and his life can be saved. I am so devastated and feel as though the year 2010 has began with heavy misfortunes. Please pray for the families involved and myself too. Grace.
