My grandfather has cancer

Stage 4 Kidney Cancer, caused by his lung cancer. Chances of survival: 50/50

I feel for you. I remember my grandmother's cancer. I hope he lives. I'll be praying.

OcarinaMan · 08-17-2004, 12:40 PM

That's sad.

And BM, don't be such a jerk.

My grandpa had cancer also... it was scary. I'm sure it'll be okay though. Stay happy [img]smile.gif[/img] and hope for the best.

My mom's mom had cancer. And it claimed her life.

Cornell J · 08-18-2004, 09:18 PM

Ollie's mom once had breast cancer back in the late 90's she lived through it

I hope your grandpappy will be alright, I shall pray for him

Both my grandfathers died from cancer before I was born, but I've had uncles die from cancer, too.

That really sucks.

Godot · 08-18-2004, 10:48 PM

...I know how you feel...

I recently lost my grandmother....to cancer.... The pain may feel strong right now...because it's affecting the one you love...

It's especally hard when you lost your other grandparents to cancer twice...

**X-3** · 08-19-2004, 01:51 PM

I hope your Granpa gets better. I also hope they find a cure for cancer....soon.

Cancer is not pretty. 4 years ago I lost my father because of lung cancer.

We can only hope he pulls through.

I heard somewhere that they did a test where they had two groups of ill people. One group had people pray for them and the other group didn't. The group that was being prayed for had a better recovery rate. If we all pray for Douglas's grandfather, mabye he'll pull through.

*Starts praying*

My own grandfather(from my fathers side) had cancer too a year ago or so. Thankfully, he has recovered and is better now.

Hmm. So, if you're a loner who has no friends or family, you're pretty much screwed? I'm atheist, but if I believed in God, I wouldn't think he'd work that way...

Any news on your Grandfather?

P.S: Oh, and I did NOT bump!

Brandon2390 · 09-28-2004, 03:15 PM

My dad actually had cancer not too long ago. It was successfully treated though. Still a scary thought, thinking I could have lost my dad.

My aunt Joyce died from cancer today.

Sim Kid · 12-19-2004, 05:09 PM

Well, last week, he suddenley took a turn for the very worse and they were afraid he would die. My dad's currently in Michigan visiting him and he's doing very well.
