I know this isn't the place to really get into personal issues but I am going through a terrible time right now in my life. My grandmother is dying from cancer and only has a few weeks to live. I am in terrible pain right now. On top of that my brother just had open heart surgery and he is doing fine but that was a tough few weeks. I hope things get better soon.

Thanks again everyone. My grandmother has Alzheimers. We moved her to Poland to a senior citizens home. We didn't know she had cancer until a few days ago. My brother just had his heart valve replaced. He had open heart surgery when he was born and now for a second time. I guess I will have to go to Poland very soon. I need to see my grandmother before she passes.

My great aunt, whom I live with, also has Alzheimers and I have an idea of what you're going through. Hang as tough as you can man.

I work some in a Alzheimers unit and so I see all the different stages of that horrible disease on a weekly basis. I just said a prayer for you and will keep you on my list. Keep in touch about this and I hope you are able to make the trip to Poland soon.

We will say prayers for you whiteathlete33. Having dealt with the death of my own parents (my mother just this past spring) from cancer I know this is a hard time.

It's always very difficult to lose someone you're close to. You have my sympathy.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.I know that it sounds trite (and I know that it's exceedingly difficult), but try to stay strong for Your family. You all need each other.

To all board members - sorry about posting a bit of Polish in an English-language forum, but as whiteathlete33 appears to be of Polish/part-Polish ancestry I thought that he might appreciate it.

Thanks again everyone. Unfortunately my grandmother passed this morning at 5am. I received a call from my aunt in Poland. She told me her hands were swollen like balloons from the cancer. RIP grandma. I will always love you.

whiteathlete33, I know how it is when a grandparent passes away from a long illness when your not there. Cancer has no hold on her now.
