My grandpa is sick with lung cancer. Whenever I go to his house, all I can think about is that he is going to die soon.
I try to spend as much time as I can with him but it's hard.
Hey babe, I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa. Dealing with a sick family member can be really hard and I'm sure every girl out here can relate to you in some way or another.
It's great that you're spending as much time as possible with him. I know it's hard to see him sick, but being surrounded by family members probably eases your grandpa's pain more than you know. You should talk to your parents, siblings or aunts and uncles about how you're feeling and ask them how they're dealing with this. It helps when you can let some of your emotions out AND hear that other peeps feel the same way. Talking to them can help you understand his cancer better, too. It's good to know what to expect with his illness and to be prepared for what may or may not come.
Focus on the positives. Next time you see your grandpa, talk about some of your favorite memories you've shared. Just be there for him. You don't have to be super-serious and nervous around him, just have fun and enjoy being with him. Maybe you could pack some cards and play a few rounds of a favorite game or let him teach you a new one if he's up to it. Take some pictures with him and the rest of your fam so you have those memories forever.
Just stick close to him and your family. Stay strong and you'll be able to get through this. Remember the girlies on GL are always here if you wanna talk.

I'm sorry about your grandfather. I know how hard it is to deal with someone you love when you know the outcome of their situation. I really feel for you. xoxo Mod... I sort of have the same sitch... My grandmother had throat cancer and went through a lot of radiation. they thought it was gone but it turned out the radiation did nothing. She went through so much pain and it didn't help at all. Now, if she doesn't get surgery and only does chemo, she will most likely live only 1-2 years. But- if she does do the surgery then she'd have to live with tubes and not be able to swallow or anything like that. Even then, most patients don't live past 5 years. That + a few other loss issues = a very stressed, occasionaly depressed me. I'm just afraid for her and I don't like talking to my parents or friends about things like this. Any advice with how to cope?

I know what your going through. Almost 3 years ago, my grandpa was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I hated seeing him like that. He was in and out of the hospital all the time. They told us he probably had 5 months to live. It turned out he only had 2. It crushed us all when we found out. I remember being in the car ride, going out to see him, when my step-dad told me he passed away. I was trying to act like a big girl and not to cry. But, I didn't last long. I normally didn't cry in front of my family because I thought it would make my grandma sad. So I cried when ever I was alone. It's been almost 3 years now, I still get very emotional on the day he died. I still cry about it all the time. Reading these stories make me cry to. I hope your grandpa stays with you for a long time.

Sorry to hear about him....my Granddad died three years ago, he waz on "life-support" and lived at home...but he died in the hospital...an i know that if anybody made it to heaven, it was my granddad...I REALLY MISS HIM AT FAMILY SOCIALS>>>it jus ain't tha same without him there wit his humor!!!!! """"I ♥ u, PAPAW"""" i have one grandparent left...that is my grandmom that was his wife! ♥♥ Fashionbabe---

i'm so sorry. i had pretty much the same situation happen to me a few years back. my opa was diagnosed with lung cancer and the doctors gave him 6 months to live. he lived for 13 months. the best thing you can do is be there. it really means a lot. and your family member will always be with you in your heart, even after they're gone. i still think of my opa all the time, even though he passed away almost three years ago. and please don't make the mistake of not talking to anyone. i've made that mistake and it really ruins your spirit. talking really helps. trust me.

I am really sorry. My grandmother got diagnosed with lung cancer 8 years ago and went into a coma. The doctors didnt think she would survive 6 months but she survived 8 years! THERE IS STILL HOPE!
by dot1123 on 11/17/2009 4:44:38 PM
That's so awesome that you're there for you're grandfather. I'll totally pray for him to get through it. Please, please let me know how it goes. If anything happens, don't be afraid to cry.

I feel the same way. My great grandpa has cancer too but it's not that bad. He's just old. He's 88. And he has some Alzheimer's but it's not too bad. BUt I constantly worry about him.
by cookiemonsterxox on 11/15/2009 11:27:37 AM

by Kristin95 on 11/14/2009 5:16:34 PM
I'm so sorry. My grandfather passed away form lung cancer. That probbably won't help, me telling you that he died from that but take a couple suggestions from me. Think of the good times. Think about how much he loves you. The next time you go to visit him ask hima bout his past. Or anything your curious about,really. i didn't get all the information I wanted from my grandpa and I regret that so much now. So, do what you can, ask questions, and remember the good times. Because I'm sure that he wants it so that when you remember him 10 years from now a smile comes to your face.
by redhead2685 on 11/14/2009 4:56:56 PM
I'm so sorry about your situation, I am going through the exact same thing right now, I'm glad you can still get to see him. I really hope you get to see him and talk to hime as much as possible before it happens... good luck.

My grandpa has cancer too and I just focus on how happy he is to have me come and visit him. Keep all the happy memories! I'm sure your grandpa would NOT want you to be worried about him. Check out my profile; I give the best advice! God Bless!

I'm really sorry about your granpa, you could join a support group with people who know first-hand what you're going through. My tatemogolo (grandpa) is also sick and he lost a lot of weight, I was so scared he'd die his healthy got really bad really quickly because he's diabetic but he's a fighter and he pulled through . Be strong Rato09

I'm so sorry. My mommom died of lung cancerI miss her so much. If she was still alive I wouldn't have moved. I miss her so much. When she died, it was the first time I saw my daddy cry and I didn't know what was happening. I just thought she was asleep. I didn't even cry because I thought everything would be okay

My grandpa has colon cancer, he had surgery to get it out 2weeks ago. he's still in the hospital and the hospital wont allow kids 16 n under in to visit patients.
by littlemiss139 on 11/14/2009 1:10:47 PM
I'm so sorry to hear that! Enjoy your last minutes with him. I endured chemo last year, and if your grandpa is anything like me, he just wants those he loves around him. Support him.

I'm so sorry. I am in the same situation. Just talk to someone who you trust. Good luck. My birthday is on December 17th (8 days before Christmas )and I need some birthday party help! What I was going to do was go to Olive Garden and eat there with my 4 friends then have a sleep over on top of that. But I kinda am unsure to do that because I think it would be to much. My other idea was just to have it be a Christmas theme. Have Christmas music and Christmas crafts, but I did a craft last year for my birthday. Tell me what you think I should do. And if you had a fun sleepover idea, tell me about it! I want this to be a memorible b-day party! Thanks!!
by decemburr96 on 11/14/2009 10:48:25 AM
im so sorry, but he'll enjoy his last moments with you. Just remember that he is going to a better place and that should make you feel better a little bit. When my great uncle turned 100 i spent many days with him. Then he died. I felt a little better that I spent time with him and he knows that I'll miss him forever.

MOD! Lynae, Thanks so much for your feedback on my story! It really means a lot to me. I think I will bring it to my English teacher on Monday! I'm very excited about this story because I feel like it's a plot I will be able to stick with, which is hard for me to do. Thanks so much!!!! Ash
