tipptruck1 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Well I was talking to a family member tonight and found out our grandpa has cancer. They found a cancerous spot on his lung. But they found it soon enough so it hasn't spread yet. I guess hes going in on monday to get it removed. So tomorrow iam going to make a call to him and wish him luck. Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted March 20, 2007 Super User Posted March 20, 2007 Sorry to hear this, my thoughts and prayers will be with your family. Same thing just happend to one of my co-workers. He also found his early and is on a speedy road to recovery. I hope all is well after Monday. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted March 20, 2007 Super User Posted March 20, 2007 I am very sorry for that too. The great thing is that it was caught early. Quote
Zel Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I hope all will be well with your Grandpa. Let him know he is in your thoughts, and be there for him if he needs anything. Last Wednesday, I also was informed by my doctor that I have cancer. My Gleeson and PSA score is relatively low-grade, and my prognosis is also good (95% survival rate) for about 10 years. Now just have to decide which method of treatment to attack it with. Quote
edbassmaster Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I hope everything works out for him. Ed Quote
Troutfisher Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I am sorry, and I will pray for your grandpa. Quote
skillet Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Sorry about your grandpa. Thank goodness for the early detection. Be sure to tell him that he has a whole durned Forum thinking of and pulling for him... As Ever, Skillet Quote
justfishin Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 First and foremost, prayer is needed. Also, be there for him. He needs you and the rest of the family's support. The good news is that a early diagnosis is critical and it seems this was the case. Treatment nowadays is state of the art and his chances are great to beat this beast. Good luck and my prayers to your grandpa, you and the rest of your family. Quote

Super User Hookemdown. Posted March 21, 2007 Super User Posted March 21, 2007 My mom had colon cancer about 4 years ago. Her's had already spread into one of her lymph nodes, so she took chemo. But with prayer and our support, she got through it. been living fine for the past 2 years. I'll pray for you grandpa and you. It's also real tough on the family. Quote
bassboy1 Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 My grandma went through this last summer. Even though she is fine, the chemo and radiation were he!!. She was feeling horrible for months. And, having to move, 4 weeks after all that didn't help. Quote
