I got the call today that I kinda knew was going to come, but really didn't want to think about.:cry:

My Grandmother 69 years young found out today that she has 6 months to live :(
she has terminal CANCER.:cry: It is in her lungs, liver, and larynx. Stage 4.

My family all lives and Florida.. I will be flying out this week to go be with them.
We could really use YT and there Prayers for strength.

I am going down this weekend for the family reunion. so we will all be together.

Please Please keep all of us in your prayer but especially Gramma. I really need YT and you all now.:cry:
Thank you

Oh, I am so sorry! I wish we all could just give you a big hug!!
I know there are no words to fill the big break in your heart right now!
I am so glad you are going to be with your family!and you all will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear your grandma. You and the rest of your family are in my prayers.

Ive been through it
 

There is nothing that can prepare you may god give you and your grandma strenght in your time of need

My mom does not have long, but she is not quite "ready" yet apparently. On Easter, our whole family got together in her room. (One hint - beware of overwhelming with too many people at one time if she is at all sensitive to that.) Afterward I told my mom that, no matter how long or short she feels her life has been or what pain she's been through or what she'll still suffer, that weekend had to be the epitome of her entire life..... to look on with pride at all the faces of family (and friends) whose lives she had either molded or touched. I hope that your visit with your grandma and family is the same type of visit. I hope I have that same thing at the end of my life.

The end of our lives here need only be bad if they are scary or painful. She sounds like a wonderful person, so if she (and you all) can look over her loved ones and realize the great family she has helped create (far greater than anything a president or financial wizard ever created or did), you will have this visit's memory to cherish forever. And remember, it won't necesarily be your last.... just an important one. I hope that it is simply awe-inspiring for all of you.

Love and hugs.

Thank you for this post... I know it will mean a lot to Lori:)

I am here for you, you know that:(

I will be there to hold your hand:( I love you Lori

I am very sorry to hear the news about your Grandmother. May she be comforted by all the love and support from her family. Remembering your Gramma & the family in my prayers!

Although we don't officially know each other, please know that we have you, your family and Gramma in our thoughts and prayers. Hold dear and enjoy the memories that you have and will continue to make.

Your in my prayers. I don't want to give you false hope or anything, but my grandmother, much older than yours had cancer in the last stages, they sent her home on Hospice 3 months to live, she refused chemo......Anyway, that was about 4 years ago and she never quit her daycare job, she is still working and has gained all her weight back, looks great. Miracles really do still happen......just pray hard and believe.

Hugs,
Angie

:girl_hug:

Oh Lori...my heart aches for you. Having lost both my parents to cancer, I know exactly what you and your family are going through. I will remember you and yours in my prayers. Sending you big hugs and I am so sorry. I will pray for God to give you comfort and strength, and of course, I'll be praying for your precious Grandma.

Lori, I'm so sorry and I will remember your Grandma, you and your family in my prayers. Bless your hearts.

I am so, so sorry!!

:ghug: :hands: :hands:

Lori, I'm so sorry :( My Grandmother died when I was in highschool from lung cancer...she died 6 months after her diagnosis. I still miss her SO much to this day...it's incredibly hard to lose a loved one. I hope you get to enjoy your time with your grandmother, and I really hope she'll live much longer than expected.

Lori i am so sorry, will be keeping all of you in my prayers. May God give you all strenght and courage specially your Gramma

God bless Lori....
I just found out last night that my Dad has lung cancer too, and I also live too far away.

I'm here if you need (or want) to talk!

Lori, I am so terribly sorry. This was not the news any of us expected. I will be praying for your Gramma, you and your family. God bless you all.

So sorry to hear this Lori! I've had to deal with this kind of thing twice in my life and it is so hard to do. You feel so helpless and just want to do something to make it all better but you can't. At the same time, sometimes I think in some ways it's a bit of a blessing to know as you have an opportunity to say all the things you never make time for in the daily routine of life and never get said when someone dies suddenly. While 69 is way too young, you have also been so blessed to have your grandma for that long and no matter how much pain is felt, you also have many pleasant memories to carry you thru the hard times. I pray your grandma feels the presense of God carrying her thru right now and that that brings comfort to you all.

im so sorry, my thoughts are with you

Lori, I'm so, so sorry. Cancer is such an awful disease. I'll keep you and your family - especially your Grandmother - in my prayers.

I am so sorry about your gramma. I'll certainly keep her and your family in my prayers.

My girlfriend's father received this prognosis.....1 1/2 years ago....after being told 6 months or less. Perhaps with prayers and positive thinking your gramma will too.

Cancer is an awful disease. I hate it.

I'm soooo soooo sorry ! She's going to really appreciate you coming but how sad for your family....knowing that kind of diagnosis makes life that much more special..... but it still doesn't take away the devestation it causes all those close to the person....:( :( :( :( :(

BIG HUGS ....and one for your grandmother too

Having lost my Grandmother (just a year ago) to cancer, I know exactly what you and your family are going through. It's hard, I know first hand. If you want to chat or ask me anything, I'm here.

Prayers to you and your family at this difficult time. Sending you big hugs and I am so sorry.
