Please say a thought or prayer for my Grandma.

[Conundrum 1]

I will make this short. My grandma has stage 4 lung cancer. It is directly linked to smoking, which she quit doing over 17 years ago. We found out less than a year ago. She was really sick and no one knew what it was so they gave her a CAT scan, and by time they found it, it was already to late. Treatment would only delay the inevitable. She and the tumors responded well to the chemo and radiation but suddenly (this week) her condition started deteriorating very rapidly.

She moved up to Portland after she was diagnosed so she could be with my Aunt, who she rarely saw. She was supposed to come back down here to be with us for Christmas, but she cannot because of her current state. I spoke with my mom earlier today and she said they weren't sure she'd make it to the end of this year.

I just got off the phone with my dad. He said after running some tests today they aren't sure she will make it through this weekend. I've never heard his voice tremble like that.

We spent 5 days up in Portland for Thanksgiving to be with her and I am thankful for that. I won't ever get to see her again.

I guess this wasn't very short, but any thoughts you can just say to yourself would be great. I know it won't change anything, but you never know what good thoughts can do. I hope she can hang on at least until after Christmas.

Thanks for reading.

I am sorry about your Grandma, and hope that her suffering will end in her sleep.

I wish I had some wise words for you but I do not.

Maybe just call her and speak with her, that might mean the world to her.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen much of you in th elast week.

Best wishes for you and your family.

I'm sorry for the pain that your grandmother and your family has to endure. Cancer is truly a horrific thing.

I hope that things progress gently and peacefullly during this holiday season.

January 23, 2006 I lost my father to the same exact thing. I understand how incredibly difficult and painful this is for you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear this Chelle. I lost my dad 10 years ago & my brother just this past Aug. to the same thing. I know what you & your family are going through & will keep you in my thoughts.

Hugs-

I'm very sorry to hear this. You and your family are in my thoughts. The same thing happened to my grandpa in 2003. We found out the day before Thanksgiving that he had stage 4 cancer and he passed away early Christmas morning. It's a tough thing to go through at any time, but especially during the holidays. Stay strong and remember to take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry, Chelle. I know exactly how you feel. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hang in there, sweetie.

Sorry for your situation.

Having lost an uncle to cancer two months ago and slowly losing my 94 year old grandmother (same uncle's mom), I can understand your pain.

Hang in there. Prayers sent.

Little update:

She was admitted to the hospital on her request (after getting scared) the night before last. The end is very near. My dad flew up last night to be with her for her last hours.

They have her on o2 and morphine, so I hope that she is at least in little to no pain. I called my aunt last night to see if I could just talk to her for just a second, but she was so tired. She said to tell me she loved me, thanks for calling, and tell my family she loves them.

I don't think she will make it to Christmas, in fact I don't know that she will last through today. I wish I could be there to hold her hand, but I know that she has her children there with her to be by her side during that time.

Thank you everyone for your PM's and thoughts here. I appreciate it.
