Sorry to hear that Munky; I hope your friend can beat this.

My best friend passed away from stomach cancer in March of 2000 and I watched him fight it since mid 97'. He was the best friend I ever had and watching him go from about 230 to 120 and be able to pick him up broke my heart. I would have traded spots with him as he was older and had a wife and 2 kids and watching the family go through that was difficult. He was more like a father to me than anything; and the day we said goodbye was the day something inside left me.

Probably not what you wanted to hear but I know 1st hand about this particular kind of cancer. Best wishes to your friend and his family
