i always post about my medicine but right now i need to vent so about a year ago maybe 2 years my grandma was diagnosed with cancer but after doing chemo and having surgery i was in the room when the explained your cancer has a high chance of coming back but we don't know for sure if it even well i started sobbing and wondered why did they do all that work to help her and then just be so negative i know they were just doing their job but it still hurt my feelings to hear that so after awhile everything was back to normal since february but last week she went in for a  colonoscopy and the doctor said they found a lump in her colon and very high chance it might be cancer and you're probably wondering why i'm very upset about this but we've always been very close all my life and she's my best friend and right now i'm going through a lot and i'm just very upset and just heartbroken

Nope. I'm not wondering why you are so upset about this news. I am admiring the strength of your compassion and the close relationship you have with your grandma. Granted that never knowing my grandparents saved me allot of pain with their passing, but I still wonder and will never know.

I'm glad you felt safe sharing about your heartbreak here, Glitter. We are here for you. Keep sharing. The load is easier when shared.

Glitter, heart goes out to you. Been in your shoes a few times. Scared and fearful were where I was, and where you are. We shall all hope for a positive outcome. Comforting hugs.

Sorry to hear of the pain that you are feeling. I can understand how hard it is to hear of a negative diagnosis. One of my aunts has cancer that is in remission and one of my cousins recently passed away. Don't forget that sometimes lumps that are found are benign. It sounds like all of the efforts that they made have been helpful. I would encourage you to continue to enjoy the time that you have with grandma, journal about your thoughts and fears of losing her. Also, make sure that you have a good support system for when that day comes. Hope that things go well for your grandma!

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...
