Anyone know of Cancer support?

Um. I didn't know if I wanted to write this because it makes it feel so real. But today my grandmother told me she has cancer. She had just found out. They can't operate so they are going to look at options. I cried a little bit when she told me but today has been a blank blur. I feel my mind totally detach from my body

I'm very sorry to hear that, no only for your grandmother, but for you and your whole family. That's really tough, I completely feel for you

Wow Mel,
Thank you for writing back on here. And it does help a lot. My grandmother said she wants to be alive and will fight it tooth and nail. Hearing that people survive cancer helps me feel more hopeful and I'll work toward making her feel more hopeful too. Also she doesn't smoke, drink, etc. So maybe that'll help her body to do what it needs to do? I'm sorry you've had so much cancer in your life. But I think you dearly for your support and information. Thank you Mel.

I think doctors often are wrong or overestimate the badness of something sometimes. One time they told my sister she had brain cancer and she didn't, actually. And they've been telling my mom she should already be dead for like 10 years now (though not from cancer, which is about the only thing she doesn't have), and she's still surviving, so you never know.

I will look up stuff tomorrow though.

And I'm really sorry. :(

Well they did an operation to find out what the masses were in her abdomen and did a biopsy on the masses.
Anyways I've heard a lot of people say that people survive more and more with cancer. One guy had a year to live but survived ten more. I hope that's the case with my grandma.
