Anna I am sorry to hear about your losses, I am also sorry you feel as badly as you do, i hate seeing others in pain...I wish there was a magic wand to erase that bad disease. I too have lost loved ones and it hurts so bad, I am so sorry sweetie and by all means you go right ahead and vent.

God bless your grandmas and you!!

Cancer is very scary, especially when it happens in your own family. All you can do is take the best care of yourself that you can, including not stressing or fearing cancer itself -- that also weakens your immune system.

Vent all you want... I've lost friends and family to cancer, too. My mother was just diagnoses with cancer in her good kidney. She's in for a battle and I'm not ready to lose my mom, so I kind of know how you are feeling.

Thankfully not everyone dies from cancer... let's hope they found it in time so your husband's grandmother can beat it, too.

Think how your husband's grandmother feels then, it's probably equally as scary for her and she needs your love and support more than anything right now.

In the circle of life there are 2 constants...life and death. Life is precious and I don't think many people want to die alone...be there for her and let her know that she is loved.

I agree I hate the word too. I lost my aunt in 1995. Right now a girlfriend is going thru a terrible event, her mom-uteran, her dad-throat. I can't imagine.

I am terribly sorry for what you and your family are going thru.

My grandmother died of breast cancer many many years ago. A few weeks ago my friend Susan had her right breast removed. She started chemo and is tolerating well. Cancer sucks, AIDS sucks, that gives us all kinds of cancers, and a friend here on DS is dying from liver cancer due to Hep C it all sucks
Bless those grannies and hope you can give strength and support to your hubby's granny.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
