Pancreatic Cancer got my Pops a little while ago. Same situation....sudden, nothing could be done, just ride it out. That's the uber-####ty part with some of these cancers, they hide really well until it's too late.

My advice moving forward is to acknowledge the situation (which you have apparently), and move forward. Don't dwell on the cancer, but don't pretend it doesn't exist.

Wanna make a "Special" difference? Fulfill a wish for your friend. Explain to him your situation (dollars, available time off, etc) and ask if there's anything he always wanted to do that you could make happen. It might be tickets to a musical, it might be throwing a kegger, it might be a hooker......who knows. I'll tell ya, making a wish come true is pretty awesome thing.
