Yes. I knew someone (about 30 years old) who had brain cancer.

When he had chemo, he looked like he was dying any second now. A week after he looked like a normal healthy person.

Last time I saw him was a few weeks before he died, we were partying like he wasn't even sick and suddendly he was dead.

But it's generally a strange feeling to lose people around you.

In the last two years I lost about 4 people. One to old age, two to cancer and one was even murdered. I still have the last moments with them in my memories. We were like "yeah lets go do XYZ together in a few weeks/months" and now they are simply gone and won't come back.
