ABANDONED. Guy with cancer meets "wizard" on gas station and he exchanges his disease with unhapinnes of his friend from school

[Vladimír]

I read the book around 2016

I'm a little confused by the description.

The guy has cancer or the wizard has cancer?

And he exchanges cancer for unhappiness?

And his friend from school is who he switches with?

Do you remember an author or cover at all?

Sorry i was a bit tired 😄 The main character suffers lung cancer (i believe it was lungs) and he meets a weirdo on a gas station, the weirdo turns out to have special powers. Weirdo makes a offer to the main character, that he can be healthy, but some close person of the main character will suffer very bad luck (financial prpblems, his kid will die, ...). I Think the book contained about 6 short different stories.

Unfortunately i dont remember anything else.

Fair extension from Steven kings full dark no stars? Main character meets someone who will take away his cancer in exchange for someone he knows having huge misfortune- family members die, they lose their job ect.
