Cousin has 1 week left

Jason S.- 1986-2007 He's gone…


Yeah, call me a noob on this forum for not searching… But I was recently told that my cousin has one week left to live.

He's been suffering with cancer since December 2005. There has been many different other problems with his system. Chemotherapy didn't seem to work. He had an organ doner, which kept him living for a little while more. Now, he can't breathe by himself. He has to have an oxygen tube.

Jason (that is his name) is now 21 years old. It was my dad who told me this information. I am only 13 years old, but I care about him, and can only pray that he survives. I hope that this topic is suitable for the "General" forum here. Please post your comments, concerns, or questions here. Thank you.

Doctors say he isn't going to make it past today, August 9, 2007. Visited Jason yesterday. We had a little fun. I'm going to go to the predicted wake on Saturday.

First: Don't waste you time discussing about this here, BE with your cousin! If he means a lot, you should spend as much time as you can with him <3!

I personally haven't lost anyone very close to me, i'd give adviec, but i don't have an experience to base anything off of.

OK, thank you Esteban. I'm going to ask my dad to take me with him to the hospital to see Jason when he goes. I'm going to try to spend as much time as I can with him in the next week.

I lost my grandma who was very dear to me so i suggest you spend as much time as possible with him,or you'll keep missing him and regretting the time you didn't spend with him.and you'll keep going back to the time you could have spent with him and bitchin that you didn't.It hurts when someone close to you passes away and it leaves a hole in your life,looking for the things they always did and remembering they arent here anymore..

mynameisjoe

2007-08-07 20:18:04

Yeah, thanks kaustav. It will leave an empty feeling in my stomach for a little awhile. But sooner or later I'm going to forget about it.. except when I purposely think about him. Yeah, i hope I can have some fun.. If it's medically possible… with Jason. That'll leave a good feeling in my heart whenever I think about him.

Bring him candy, that always cheers me up.

mynameisjoe

2007-08-07 21:32:53

Of course! Candy is the all-mighty source of life! :rolleyes: I was going to bring him something, whether it be candy or an object of entertainment. I was planning on giving him something to remember me by. I gave my grandfather a live-strong wristband in the hospital a few nights before he passed away. I might do the same thing.

Go see him! dont waste ur time here! if you really care then do as i say…

When i broke my leg. I was waiting 2 weeks for a surgery and it was great to have someone to talk to. I know he will think the same because it will get a bit lonely especially when i wasnt allowed to eat… (Yes i didnt eat for 2 weeks(Almost anything))

@ Jukka

I see that many people have suggested spending time with him, so I will really try to. PROMISE. I'll ask my dad after he gets home from work tommorrow, OK? I'm sure I'll be able to see him at least twice. And that's pretty crazy, 2 weeks, I guess you know what it's like.. well in a less serious situation.

@ Bourdou

I have a feeling looking at porn won't help him much in his condition.

When my grandma was ill with cancer, she had alot of drugs in her system that relaly fucked her up in her last week of living. She didn't really know who she was, who I was, or where she was.

Was pretty upsetting to see.

I was about 15 at the time (im 18 now) and I choose to stay at home the last time the family visited her alive, because it upset me so much.

I deeply regret that now, not being there for her.

I suggest you see him as much as possible.

I'd known my grandma all my life, and she'd always given me things my parents wouldn't let me have because she was awesome.

Go spend time with him.

mynameisjoe

2007-08-07 22:27:05

That really sucks that your grandma was like that in her last week, Sp0rk. I can see how it really is important to spend your time with a loved one in their last days. I'll be sure to do the right thing.

Do you realize that this is just a ****little**** more serious than your ravings about porn?? Come on man, this is cancer we're talking about, not some small, common cold, where you can laugh and joke around about.

2007-08-07 22:48:37

People don't realise how hard it is to deal with until they go through it mynameisjoe, its alright.

Ignore the immature comments from people, don't react.

2007-08-07 22:50:22

Thanks sp0rk. You're perfectly correct. Some people just don't know.

I know I sounded a bit cliche, but its sadly true.

Does your cousin know The Lord?

I'll be praying for him :(

Guess I don't. Sorry

passiondrive

2007-08-08 07:02:10

I feel sorry for you man, My dad had a stroke a few years back he's never been right since.. Make sure you spend all the time you can with him, and don't waste a second away.

mynameisjoe

2007-08-08 09:50:39

@ Jason2gs

Thanks for caring, Jason. It really helps.

@ Passiondrive

That's even worse when your dad has the medical problem… I mean, it's like you've know him all your life. I'll be sure to spend as much time with him as I can.

I'm truly sorry to hear this.

If he doesn't survive at least know he will be in a better place and he will not be suffering as much.

You know, I'm not a great believer in god, But when my dad was in hospital I prayed he would be ok and look at him now. He survived when it was 90% certain he would die. Keep positive and great things can happen!

This might sound harsh, but get out of this forum and go to your brother.

mynameisjoe

2007-08-08 16:30:35

@ Hyper

Thank you very much. I'm happy you care.

@ Hugo

You're right.. I guess he will be better in the otherworld.. but for now, I'm gonna pray that he stays with us, and hope that he goes with no pain.

@ Passion

I'm going to stay positive, and hopefully a miracle will occur..

@ lolpie

As I've said before, I'm going to spend as much time with him as I can. I've already asked my dad, and he says that maybe we can go tomorow, or the next day..

My bad, I only read the first couple of posts.

2007-08-08 17:37:58

This is like the saddest thing ever, but just remember that dying is just a part of life, and we all die eventually, so don't make it a bad thing and just enjoy the time you have with him.


@lolpie

His cousin dude… lol

mynameisjoe

2007-08-08 18:05:24

@ Timo

Yeah, we all die eventually, I'll admit that, but at age 21.. that's just horrible.

Hehe, yeah, saying it's my cousin would be a useless post and i may get another "noob point" :(

Probably not after what you've gone through.

Good luck, and please, tell him Santy from your favourite forum says 'Hi'…and I'm being serious.

Yea.. Really funny, huh? What if someone close to you would be dying? Would you just bring them porn and then giggle in the corner?

:( I feel sad for you.

So sad to hear this… :(

My sister had cancer too, she was only about 8 years when it was find out that she was suffering from cancer.
I didnt realize it was so big issue until doctor said she had only a month time to stay alive. Well… Anyways she lived more than a month (RIP) at age of 10 (near 11).

I know how you feel man, thats so sad and your cousin is only 21 years old. :(

Next 6 months may be really sad time, but after that you sure will be remembering those good times you had with your cousing and smiling at them. :)

Now, go to your cousing and spend some time with him.

I wish good luck to you, your family and your cousing.

Please refrain from that language in situations like these. Bourdou has already been told.
