I must say I'm somewhat surprised by the recent rash of intellectualism...we went straight from arguing about kuru's boobs to having in-depth discussions about middle eastern politics and the merits of the American Welfare sysem.
I'm impressed, but I come here to unwind after a hard day of thinking. Thank Yaweh that BF is here to keep the IQ factor of the discussions down.
Ok, I'm drunk...I'm going to bed.
P.S. How many posts until Dys flames me for making a "wasteful thread?"

none, since this topic actually has a point to it.

Sir? May I recommend I load myself into the reverse-thrust tubes and you use my body as decoy-fodder? This will, of course leave me splattered across deep space and unable to complete today's laundry, for which I apologise in advance.

Just keep being his friend.
A life threatening illness, once you come to terms with having it, can be a kind of odd thing. Sometimes you just want to have at least one friend who doesn't treat you like a medical freak. Somebody who acts like you're still the same person, the same friend, who acts like you're living not like you're dying.
Course, that's just me. But if I were your friend who has leukemia, I'd want you to just keep being my friend. To be the reassurance of normalcy.

a friend of mine recently found out she has hepetitus C (the incurable variant)..... she's probably got 10-15 years to live, less if she doesn't keep a handle on her drug addiction (herion use fucks up your immune system bad.)
don't think of them as a person waiting to die, otherwise your thoughts may rub off on them. they're still a person, and still your friend.
Don't bring up the subject; only talk about it if they bring it up..... but at the same time, don't walk on eggshells around them. no matter how subtle you think you are, they will notice and be uncomfortable.

I point you all here for something which everyone seems to -say- they're going to do, but never actually does.

I'm with kuru, he was your friend before you knew, so the only thing that's changed is that you might not have as long to be his friend now, so just don't take him for granted.
Trust me, if you do, you'll miss him even more when he finally does have to leave. As for giving him stuff, figure out what he wants. Some people want stuff, some people want pity, some people want to be treated normally, some to be left alone. You have to find out what his wishes are, and honor them. You have my sympathy, I know where you're coming from.
