I found out today that my grandma (my mom's mom) has like 6 or 7 months left to live. The saddest part of it all, is that my aunt and uncles' including my mom, have not told her anything. She knows that she had cancer like 30 years ago, but she doesn't know that it came back and doesn't know how far its gotten or how rapidly its spreading throughout her body. The cancer is now destroying her insides/organs, it's eating them up.
Last year, they told us that she had 10 years to live. It must have gotten beyond her doctors' control because even they tell us that even if they try and treat it, my grandma won't resist it. So it leaves my mom and my aunt with a critical choice: let her live in pain for whatever time she has left or try and treat the cancer, but with a high probability of losing her.
