I just got back a few minutes ago from seeing him. He was asleep the whole time but we were with my aunt in the family room and some of my other relatives visiting. I got to go in and see him though but had to sanitize my hands and wear a face mask before I could enter. It's really sad. He's always been a small boy around 112-120 lbs Id say, my aunt said since he hasnt been eating he's now down to 100 lbs.... His chemo started yesterday but my dad says the illness is terminal so he wont live for too much longer. They took MRI scans and stuff but they havent figured out if the cancer has spread into the tissue in his brain yet but if it has it will just reduce his time on earth. He's been really sick, my aunt says he's pretty fine when he's laying down but when he gets up he gets sick and vomits..which is pretty much why he's lost all the weight, that and he isnt eating and stuff. It's pretty sad to see.
Im going to go ahead and repost this since it got knocked back a page, so people can see it since I said Id keep it updated.
Yea, I didnt want to leave when we did but had to. He'll be going home tuesday if everything goes a-okay so my parents said I get to visit him when he goes home 🙂 . Wow, this is totally bummer, I mean I know i dont know him that well but we've grown up together in a sense..He's only a year older than I am and I've seen him at every family reunion since I can remember, and just this previous summer he was playing kickball and having fun. Now he's in a hospital bed, having to have chemicals injected into his body and everything....

Yep, he's only 17. Around a month ago, maybe a couple weeks his arm swelled up really big and he was taken to the hospital where they thought it was one thing, which I cant remember the word for it. Turns out its a really REALLY rare type of bone cancer that has already spread up to his brain. He's in Stage 4. My dad told me today that Justin probably wont live.
I dont really know Justin "That Well" but we've talked and stuff, its just a hard thing to deal with.
sorry
