I know I haven't been around here much lately, and there's a sad reason for that, let me tell you the story of my friend Pepe, he was my only friend here where I live, he was my wife's first cousin, a very successful plastic surgeon and a good man, you can't have it all in life, he struggle in life to become a respected doctor, her mom leave him with her grand mother to go to the US to work, made it to medical school and became a good doctor, so far so good and here is where life turns is a critical way, in his mid 20s he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, the result, the removal of part of his penis and a testicle, fast forward, in his early 50's he was diagnosed with a failure in both kidneys, and need a transplant, at this age we have become friends, the kind of friends that go to the movies to a coffee shop, restaurants became his confident made a lot trips together i offer him several times a kidney, he said no , one of his sisters donate him one, this is where life kick him again, to sustain a transplanted organ you must keep your immune system at his lowest level, this carry another problems, last year he was diagnosed with cancer again skin cancer, of course he fight again but it was a lost battle, because of the immune depression due the transplanted kidney, the chemotherapy won't work, he decided to stop fighting and spend the last month's of his life in his house, my wife and I help him In all we can, I shave him every third day, his skin turned like paper because of the weight loss ,help him shower and spend a lot of time with him before he go, I had the chance to say goodbye before he was sedated he died yesterday may my friend Pepe rest in peace.
