Going up to see a friend in a couple days who is dying from cancer [View all]

He just acquired the prescription for death with dignity as it’s known here (WA), so want to say my goodbyes. Not much I can do, he doesn’t want visitors but said he’d talk to me on the porch if I came up. I can understand that. Prostate cancer has him. At least it’s inspired me to get checked regularly. My last checkup my PSA was up to 8 but I don’t think that’s really bad for my age. He put off getting checked so long it was stage 4 by the time they found it.
