Ah, Yogi, it's so sad when this terrible disease hits the young. It's the one disease where your youth actually works against you.
However, it is no longer a death sentence by any means. Go back and look through that cancer thread that we had on here. I'm sure that Just Lou's story would be so very inspirational to your friend and his daughter. And I know that having a good guy like you as a friend would cheer anyone up!
Klyd, give your daughter an extra hug tonight. It will help.
