As some of you might know, my mother in law was diagnosed with lung cancer back in February. The cancer has spread to various other parts of her body too. The doctors say they cant cure her, they can only buy her more time, and try to keep her quality of life as good as possible.
She has had radiation therapy, medication and had her first session of chemotherapy last week. So far she's doing pretty well under the circumstances. With a bit of luck we'll have her with us for a couple more years, but everything is so uncertain.
A couple of months ago, we were also told that one of my mother in laws sisters was also diagnosed with cancer, it has also spread throughout her body, and we know she wont last long.
One of my aunts, and the ex-wife of one of my wifes uncles have been in an ongoing struggle with this horrible disease for a few years now, and they both know the end is coming closer fast.
And a few weeks ago, my 88 (89 in 2 months) year old grandmother was diagnosed with a tumor near her stomach. She had surgery today, and as far as I know she's doing ok, but the surgery has been very hard on the old lady.
It's pretty hard on us too. On one side you want to keep up the positive thoughts, and don't think about the inevitable things that are coming. But on the other side, you want to start to say goodbye now it's still possible.
It's just too much. So many people close to me, all at once.
just needed to vent, thanks for reading...
