Okay, so long story short, I ended up joining Facebook and had someone who I knew from high school contact me. I have had NO contact with this person whatsoever for about 7 years, but I heard through friends that she had cancer. Anyways, right off the bat, she posts on my wall and wants to know how I'm doing and such, but the same day, she goes into remission with her cancer. Yeah I know, its sucks and I feel sorry for her, I have a family member going through cancer too and it's tough, but for all I know, she's another sad statistic for cancer, not a person close to me that I would feel empathic for. I haven't responded yet because I don't really know what to say. This was not one of the negatives I foresaw when I was debating whether or not to re-open my profile, but what would you do in my situation?
