NWR ... T & P. Warning: Sad Topic.

HelloGoodFriend · May 2012

Cancer.

The sound of that word cuts me like a knife and I never thought I would ever have to utter the word.

A couple weeks ago we found out that my grandma has an extremely rare cancerous tumor in the central part of her brain. Giving her 3-4 months to live. The cancer is so advanced that treatment would only give her an additional 2-3 months.

She keeps saying she needs more time. She says she wants to fight. She starts treatment this week.

Counting down to the wedding seems irrelavant now.

I would appreciate it if you girls would keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Cancer really does rip its way through lives and leaves some pretty nasty scars. That word makes me angry and sad too.

It's so hard to lose a grandparent. I dunno about you but there is a special connection with a grandparent that only makes this challenge so much more difficult. I lost my grandfather just a little over a year ago to cancer and it was very very difficult. He had fought it off but it came back with a vengeance. It's heartbreaking and it hurts so much. The best advice I can give is don't take a day or a moment for granted - every second counts. It's going to hurt no matter when she goes but don't let that ruin the time you do have. Cherish the time she has left.

I'm so very sorry - big big hugs to you!

There are not many words that make my stomach turn as much as the word Cancer does

A TON of T&P for you, your grandmother and the rest of your family. Try to enjoy the time you have left with her.

I'm so sorry! My Grandma had a brain tumor too and passed when I was 6 months pregnant with my daughter. I still wish she would have at least got to meet her, but I know she is watching over her. It sounds like your Grandma is in good spirits and has the will to fight, which I think is half the battle. Sending T & P's your way!

T&P coming your way. Such a hard thing to deal with.

sending lots of T & P your way. I lost my grandmother as a junior in high school to a brain tumor that was cancerous, and my grandfather folllowed her a few years later. So I know the pain and fear of losing grandparents especially those that you are close and at this time in your life. It has been very hard planning a wedding knowning that one set of grandparents are not going to be there. At least she has the will to fight it and that will help-#'s are numbers they could be wrong when I was born they had said my grandfather would probably only live a few months longer since he had lung cancer and he lived to see me graduate high school. The best advice I can give is just be strong and enjoy the time you have with her do not even think about the cancer and the prospect of her dieing.

Sending thoughts and prayers to the family. I never understood how bad cancer can effect your life until you meet someone who has gone thru it. FI mom died of cancer and when he sat me down and told me the story, all I could do was cry.

PP is right, #s can totally be wrong! Drs 'practice' medicine... meaning they aren't always going to be 100% perfect!
I have met quite a few ladies while I was going through treatment that were given a timeline from the Drs that they far surpassed!

Many T&P headed your way! That is very difficult to go through. My aunt was diagnosed at the age of 48 with stage 4 esophageal cancer. She was given 7-10 months. She was a fighter too and stayed alive for over 2 years. Don't take a day for granted but the will to live can be a powerful thing so I hope your grandma squeezes everyday she can from life.
