It is amazing how many people have cancer really.
I find that too. It's crazy, and the morbidity just keeps rising - but I suppose the population does. It's amazing how lonely it can be too, when so many people are also walking around dealing with it.

I want to be there for them but I don't want to be there for me. Does that make sense?
I'm not looking forward to hitting average age. Facing circumstances like this are almost inevitable and I have no idea how I'll handle it. Probably like you seem to be. Just wanting to be a support network, ready with empathy, sympathy, and advice, but not really knowing what to do with myself. Please take care, it's far too difficult to be there for others if you aren't looking after yourself.
I really hope that by the time you read this your heart is at least a little less heavy.
