Technically, he's my brother's friend, but we get along as well. He's lost 20 lbs. in the last six weeks, and the doctors and his parents have ruled out that it's not intentional. He has had stomach pains recently, but not to the point where they're unbearable. Doctors have also found a mass in his hip and he is starting to get bruises that aren't inflicted by force of any kind. They confirmed that he does not have leukemia, but that he might have lymphoma. He will be hospitalized for a few days to prepare his body for the MRI test, since he's lost so much weight in such a short period of time. This is my brother's best friend and my brother doesn't know how serious this is. My mom only told my brother that his friend was a having a few tests done. So pray for my brother's friend and that everything goes well. Also, pray for his family, as I know they are going through as much, if not more, pain than him.
