what do you think

My girl friend told me her adult son has a friend, male, that has cancer....it's bad..he has been referred for clinical trials but has already been rejected by one hospital. He wants to get married...soon..like in a week. Everyone is upset, thinking he should not do it, blaming the bride for pushing it. I don't know if she is or not. My thought is let him do what he wants....what harm is it if he gets married. There is no large amount of money (life insurance) involved...he just want to marry the woman he has been with for several years....what do you think?

@Mom2Dogs In my never to be humble opinion, it's NO ONE ELSE'S BUSINESS!!

If the man and woman want to marry, knowing the situation, everyone else needs to BUTT OUT!!

It might give them both some comfort, any of those judging them ever think of THAT? No, of course not.

This gets me hot under the collar when others think they have a right to an opinion in a sad situation like this.

I personally would support them and wish them love for as long as they are together.

I think he should do what he wants. And everyone else should mind their own business.

My nephew had cancer and it kept returning. He had lost his wife several years before. He married his High School sweetheart and they had a good year before it became worse.
I don't live nearby so never met her but his Mother said they were glad they married. In his case also money wasn't involved.

Your post is heartfelt - I am so sorry and since you mentioned he is adult he has every right to marry.

Blessings to all that care and may we find a cure for this horrible disease.

This couple has been together for years....it is their life, their decision how they want to live it. Would hope they have supportive, loving, accepting people around rather than causing dissension, especially during this challenging time.

I do hope he is able toget into a clinical trial.

If he and his girlfriend want to marry, it is their decision. If people can't be happy for them, then those people have issues. None of us know how long we have. I wish them every happiness!

There are only two people who have a say in this, and since both of them are presumably adults, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. The poor guy has overwhelming health issues, and people are questioning whether or not he should get married? Stay out of it...don't worry about it....let the poor guy do what he wants!
