Really sorry to hear about your close friend, Wayne. I have a couple of friends that I have known for a very long time, and they have both had so many health problems over the past few years. One had stage 4 colon cancer and kidney cancer. Doctors removed one of her kidneys and about a foot of her colon, and gave her chemo therapy. She survived that, but now I wonder how long she may live. Her husband was my childhood friend, and he has diabetes and heart disease. he has had a heart attack, and now has had seven stints. he just had an MRI to check his arteries in his neck, and it looks like they will also put a stint there.
I was the best man at their wedding in October 1969, one day after I got out of the Army. I hope they will live a long time, but I would not be overly surprised if either one of them passed away soon.
