Depression over Internet Buddy?
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.

Thats so horrible, especially since its over the internet. I think you should try to live your life as best as you can, even if he cant. If you dont even know him, well I mean have never met him in real life, theres nothing you can do, and I think you know that.
I mean honestly, it hurts really bad to find out news like this, even if he does live far away. I would just make sure he is telling the truth, dont take offence that I say that, but some people on the internet do that, they lie, and want pity. As long asyou know its true, theres nothing you can do, except talk to him, maybe call him on the phone? I mean personally talking to someone can help them a great deal, especially hearing voices. But only if you are sure its safe, the internet is very creepy sometimes.
I hope everything is going to work out,

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.
