So, I've been rping online for a really long time. I have this one rp buddy that I've had for a year or so, and I've really gotten to know, and have become pretty good friends with. Well, as good of friends as you can become over the internet.
I don't have a infatuation with him (he's gay after all), that isn't my problem. The problem is, that a month or so ago he had told me that he went to the doctor to get a malignant melanoma removed. Then, the other day he told me that he had gone back to the doctor to get tested for a form of tuberculosis that had been going around because he was coughing up blood..
They found out that not only did he have ulcers in his stomach.. but he is in an advanced stage of melanoma cancer, meaning it's spread from the skin and into his body. And it's all because the fucking doctors missed a few spots, or didn't remove a lymphnode.
I don't know if I should feel as bad as I do.. I cried last night thinking about it.. I mean he is as young as I am, only 15, and he has just about no chance. And it's all because of a doctors mistake on something that was easily treatable and easily cured. And I hate thinking that one day I'm going to get on and he's just not going to be there, and it's going to be because he's dead. I just don't know how to deal with it, and it's not like I can explain that to my parents. They would probably take my computer away or say he's making it all up. I wish I could help him but I don't know what else to give from where I am other than encouraging words..
If anyone could help me, it would be incredibly appreciated.. I'm sorry this is really long, but I felt it should be fully explained to get any real help from people. (link)

You have found yourself in an odd situation here. You know someone well enough to have feelings for them, but you literally don't know them at all.
It's perfectly fine to feel bad for him. But really, at this point feeling bad is all you can do. Encouraging words are the only things an online friend can provide.
Enjoy your time with him.

All you did was explain the situation back to me, I wish you would have offered some actual advice.
