Re: What about me...
Firstly, my prayers are with the cancer patient, may Allah make it easy for him/her. Ameen.
Secondly, cancer affects families in the most brutal ways - your loved ones panic and feel so helpless. Whoever said, "what about me?" is just so panic-stricken and has made too many plans with you. They, like Bonnie said, can't imagine a life without you - it's a sweet thing. Not selfish in the sense you see it.
