I guess should tell you that I have a sister named Hannah(she is the
youngest). She isn't much like you, and might not even approve me
talking to you. Its nothing against you I just had this friend. His
name was Dwayne and he went a little nuts once.
We used to hang out on a regular basis, and one day he told me how he
had started talking online to a girl he used to go to high school
with. He was a senior with her brother when she was a freshman and
had a crush on him back then. He found out years latter and somehow
got a hold of her. Anyway it wasn't a big deal for a while he would
just talk about her, how she was going to be a doctor and went to BU
or BC(i forget which) for pre-med on a full scholarship.
Then things got a little weird. He started telling me how she had a
terminally ill roommate and she really struggled with depression.
Most of his other friends thought he was too attached to someone he
hadn't seen in years, but he was pretty happy and the did talk on the
phone so I knew it wasn't some creepy weirdo. It keep getting weirder
though. She started talking about how she was now terminally ill with
cancer. She told him it was heart cancer. Now I'm not familiar with
every type of cancer, but I've never heard of cardiovascular cancer.
I've heard of heart disease, but not heart cancer. Or any muscle
cancer now that I think of it.
I told him this but he said I wasn't a doctor and I had to agree that
I didn't really have too much knowledge on health or medicine. I
didn't really worry about it, and figured as long as he is happy it
would be ok.
It keep getting weirder. She said she had to be transfered to
montereal because she need experimental health care that only the
canadian health care system could provide. He would call me up crying
saying how her heart had stopped and she was really doing poorly.
Barely alive. Her "shaman grandfather from the amazon jungle" had to
be called in to perform rituals for her. She would try to perform her
own open heart surgeory, and once he even said she was the first
person to sucessfully do so.
We worked together and sometimes he would get so depressed over this
girl he would call out and I had to cover for him. I was getting sick
of hanging out with him and getting kicked out any time she would call
or he would get an email from her.
I started talking to our mutual friends and even tried to find SOME
sort of evidence that heart cancer existed. I couldn't and I told him
that. He told me to shut up and that I didn't understand, because i
had never read her letters. I thought it was pretty clear he was
being manipulated, but his family seemed to disagree. He even told me
how they were now engaged.
Anyway once I was hanging out with him and he hadn't mentioned "his
girl" as he called her. It was nice. Like old times. Anyway his
little sister came into his room and told him how this girl was on the
phone. 15 to 20 minutes later his little sister returns to tell me
that I better leave because the girl had died. I was like wow really?
and proceeded to leave. He came up to me right before I was out the
door and told me how her brother had called and said she had suffered
heart failure and despite the doctor's best efforts she couldn't be
revived. I said I was sorry, and told him to go be with his family.
He was seriously broken up over this. As I left I told myself "Its
finally over". I was sorry he was so sad, but I though that the
finally chapter of this tragedy had been written and she would stop
manipulating him, and he could have this sap story.
The next day he called me up. At first it was very casual but then he
just said "shes alive". I had had it. I went off on him saying that
the whole thing was fake and stupid and I never wanted to hear about
her again. I was really yelling, and I'm usually pretty patient.
The point is I told everyone that if I ever got involved with someone
online to remind me of this story. I'm not trying to imply the
situation is the same. I don't think it is. My little sister is just
very protective of me, especially when it comes to talking to girls
online. She thinks I'm a poor little puppy sometimes.

Ha ha, I know a guy who's doing the same thing with stomach cancer. He supposedly was born with his stomach on the outside of his body (it happens), and he actually does have a large scar there. But he's supposedly been "dying of cancer" forever, and he manipulates people with this story. He said his doctor told him he'd die if he drank alcohol, but he drinks like a fish. One male friend of his finally got fed up and broke off their friendship. The "stomach cancer" guy is incredibly hot, though, so he has a loyal following of stupid girls hanging around, waiting to do his every bidding.
This guy is funny and cool in other ways, so I just enjoy that part of him and give him the occasional bottle of Hennessy for his birthday.
HA! People are fucked up. Its a shame.
