so no one reallyy knows this but my grandpa has cancer. he has some sort of bone cancer. hes had it for 9 years and looking at him you would have no clue. he was only suppose to survive for 5. his chemo isnt working anymore so he stopped taking it. he would start one and it would work and then stop working. so now hes going to be having a stem cell transplant. hes still being looked over to see if hes a good canidate cuz its a EXTREMLY serious surgery. i talked to my mom last night and asked her what they would do to him exactly and this is what she said in my own version lol take in mind shes a nurse so she used the correct terms lol
so they give him an IV.....give him a big dose of chemo.....take a good amount of his blood and do something with it. then give him another big dose of chemo. then do some other things with his blood thennnnn take out all his bone morrow. i looked at my mom and was like wouldnt that make him like a noodle??!! and she was like well yea pretty much. so then she continued to go on and on about all the chemo hes gonna get and i look at her and say my god isnt taht enough to kill him. she said yes as i started crying. i say so basically either it works or it doesnt. i just sat on the couch with my mom and cried. if he has the surgery it wont be for another few weeks but i pray to god everything goes ok. this is his last chance for him to TRY to get better.
