Sad news

RosebeanRosebean member
in February 2013 Moms
I found out today that my grandpa has stage 4 cancer. In his lungs and now spreading through to his kidneys. The part that really gets my goat is that he's been complaining of stomach pain for over 2 years now, and it took them this long to figure it out. He's been given a year to live and I just wish they had taken him more seriously when he originally started talking to his doctor. I feel like they should have diagnosed this way sooner. So they will be attempting to treat it with chemo until it can no longer be repressed or he's no longer comfortable. My grandma was already talking about palitive care. It's really hard to not grieve like he's already gone. They live 3 hours away, so DH and I are starting to think about how we can travel their way more so we can spend as much time with him as possible.

    I'm so sorry. Three of my grandparents had lung cancer and I remember how devastating it is to hear a diagnosis like that. I hope you are able to spend more time with him. (Hugs)

    I'm so sorry :( My Dad had an awful cough for over 1.5 years before they finally diagnosed the degenerative lung disease that killed him (3 years after diagnosis). Even though it's frustrating to think "if only they had run text X sooner!!", the situation is what it is now. I hope that his time is comfortable and that you and your LOs can visit him often.

    I'm so sorry to hear.  We had a similar situation with my grandpa.  T&P for all of you, and crossing my fingers that he beats the odds, surprises everyone, and goes much longer than what his doctors are projecting.

    Ugh, I am so sorry to hear that. :-(  My grandfather passed away from lung cancer while I was away at college.  Fortunately only 1 1/2 hours away, so I was able to come home on weekends to visit, and I know he appreciated that.  I'm sure your grandpa will appreciate any time that you are able to spend with him as well.  Sending you lots of hugs!

    I am so sorry! Huge hugs!

    We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013.  We love her to pieces.  

    We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011.  She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.
