My Grandmother has lung cancer. We knew that she had a growth in her lungs, but were hoping for something more benign. Well, the biopsy came back and it’s the Big C. I don’t know the prognosis, but I do know that it’s treatable. Not curable, but treatable.
I’ve been in a weird place this week. I knew that my Grandmother was sick, but was still hoping that it was something else. It’s somewhat odd to be hoping for your Grandmother to have TB, but I just wanted it so badly for it to not be cancer. I liked it better when we didn’t know, because then I could pretend that everything was fine. Now that we do know, I’m not happy… but I was glad to talk to her this morning and to hear that she is in good spirits.
Here is my grandmother holding her great-grandson (my nephew). I hope that she is able to fight this and to be around long enough for him to remember her. She’s an amazing lady.
Hope, I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother. My grandfather passed away from lung cancer last month. It had been 3 years since the spots in his lungs were discovered, so he had many good times after his diagnosis.
I’m sending good vibes your way!
Oh sweetie, I’m so sorry. Your whole family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Sorry to hear that, Hopers. 🙁
Oh, Hope, sweetie, I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother. My thoughts, prayers, and hugs are with her and all your family.
