Thread: Request for my Grandmother, who is fighting Cancer

About 16 years ago my Grandmother found out she had Breast Cancer. She lost one breast but they got rid of all the Cancer. She had been Cancer free all these years. Well in July of 2001 she found out that she had Breast Cancer again. She had surgery in August of 2001 and they believe they got all of that. She had radiation this time around. Well she has gone in for a check up like she is supposed to do & they took exrays, etc. Well they have found that she has Cancer on her Lungs now also. The DR has told her that it is a slow moving Cancer. And that there isn't too much that they can do about it. Eventhough they are still trying.

This lady is the sweetest, most caring person you would ever want to meet. She never asks anything of anyone, but rarely says "no" to anyone either. She does not Smoke, Drink or even drink Coffee or Caffeine. She goes to church every Sunday, says her prayers every day. She lives by the way she was brought up in a Mormon family. She never says anything bad about anyone. But she has had Cancer not just once, but twice & now finds out that she has a slow moving Cancer. It just goes to show that any of us can get Cancer, I suppose.

Anyways. A few years back, before she found out that she had this Cancer my Grandfather kept having Strokes. My Grandmother was unable to take care of him so she had to place him in a Nursing Home. This was very hard for my Grandmother as she has barely ever been on her own since she left home. My grandparents home is out in the Country so she isn't very close to town. She doesn't have too many people that come to see her & all of our family live in other States. Then last year the Sunday before Thanksgiving my Grandfather passed away. Only my Uncle, his Wife & their little boy were able to make it to his Funeral besides one of her Brothers.

I am very worried about her lately she sounds so depressed & lonely. If any one would be willing to send her any words of insipration, get well or anything, PLMK.

You can post here, PM me or email me at mauiorchids@hotmail.com She does not have a computer so you wouldn't be able to email anything to her. TIA

Thank you to those who have emailed me.

I'm just bumpin' this up for the morning people.

mauiorchid, I just wanted to give you a link where you can have an angel made for your grandmother. They send a nice letter with it. I had one made for my mother and it is real cute. Hope it will give your grandmother some hope when she receives it.

tHANKS, i'M GOING TO GO DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

I have emailed everyone back so far.

janelle: Thank you. She does have people from hospice that come around. I talked to my mom about it. A lady comes once a week to help her clean her house & then another lady comes a few times a week just to visit with her. They also sent out a few men that helped rebuild my Grandmother's porch & stairs . My mom sent me a picture of them in an email. They did a very nice job. She actually has hand rails now. So that helps her out. Between my mom & I we are going to see what all they can do for her & we are going to get it all set up.
