grandmas cancer *update* not pregnancy related
Well back in November my grams turned 80 and finally decided to retire. For most ppl that's a great think but my grams fell into a funk. Stopped getting outta bed stopped eating stopped socializing with almost everyone but my husband and myself. ( she's a talker and I'm pretty quiet, but put us together n we just don't shut up. :-D) well Christmas rolled around and we went to see her n my dad (my dad lives with her, he's never really grown up) the whole time were there my dad is bitching cuz she doesn't cook clean or go to the store so he's ALWAYS hungry. (Poor thing get ur ass up n do it yourself) well I was telling him then something is wrong u need to get her to a Dr. He would just say o she's depressed n shell pull outta it. But I was watching her try to eat n u could just see the pain in her face with every swallow n she was "loosing" her voice. Well b4 the end of January she found out her oldest son, my uncle has lymphoma. Needless to say she completely gave up on life. Kept saying she refused to let one of her sons die 1st. Well after a huge fight between my dad n I he finally made her go to the Dr.

Be strong for them!
My grandfather's diagnosis came just a few months after we lost my grandmother. He had pnuemonia, and when he went back for his check up they found a spot on his lung. They immediately started him on radiation and chemo, but it started growing and spreading rapidly. About 3 months after being diagnosed he was gone.
I have a friend who's dad was diagnosed and his treatment was that the removal of his left lung and 3 months of chemo. He is now in remission.
I would ask lots of questions and do a lot of research. If possible, ask to be added to the list of people authorized to receive health information on your grandmother so you can communicate with the doctors if you want to.
Sorry this is long.... Good luck. Saying prayers for you and your family.
@angelmonkeymelody - she's seeing the specialist tomorrow morning to talk about and possibly start radiation.
My prayers and thoughts are with you.
No your son would be fine. Its always great if they can cook to the end but majority of csections take place within 2 weeks of due date. Talking to your dr is worth a shot.
Hospice care can can be amazing
