Family & Friends of Cancer Patients Support Group
This community is dedicated to parents, siblings, grandparents, other relatives, friends and caretakers of cancer patients. It's difficult to find a safe place to talk about caring for a loved one with cancer, and so this group serves as an open forum to foster positivity and support for those going through this tough time.
I WENT TO BOSTON THIS WEEKEND TO SEE MY GRANDPARENTS. I HEARD ALOT OF AMAZING STORIES. THE ONE THAT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING WAS I FOUND OUT MY GRANDFATHER WAS HOSPITALIZED A MONTH AGO BECAUSE HE WAS BLEEDING WHEN HE WAS GOING TO THE BATHROOM. THEY REMOVED SOME POLIPS FROM HIS BLADDER. WELL SATURDAY DAY HE WAS NOT FEELING VERY WELL AND WAS RUNNING TO THE BATHROOM EVERY 10 TO 15 MINUTES.
SUNDAY MORNING CAME AND HE STILL WASNT FEELING WELL, BUT WE WENT SHOPPING DURING THE DAY. HE SAT DOWN ALOT. I ASKED HIM SEVERAL TIMES IF HE WANTED TO GO HOME HE SAID NO ILL BE FINE. WE GOT HOME AND I WAS GETTING READY FOR MY TAXI TO COME AND TAKE ME
TO THE AIRPORT. GRANDMA HAD TO CALL THE DOCTOR. GRANDPA WAS DOING WORSE. I DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE, BUT KNEW I HAD RESPONDSIBILITIES AND HOME.
I TALKED TO HER MONDAY NIGHT AND SAID THEY WERE GOING TO FLUSH IT OUT. WHAT I DIDNT KNOW TILL MONDAY NIGHT IS HE WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING LAST MONTH. HE HAS CANCER OF THE BLADDER. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY REALLY THAT CLOSE TO ME EXCEPT MY UNCLE AND OTHER GRANDFATHER WITH THIS BUT IT WAS 22 YEARS AGO. HITS A LITTLE CLOSER TO HOME YOU KNOW.
WELL I WAS WONDERING IF U COULD SAY A LITTLE PRAYER FOR HIM I AM REALLY WORRIED.
I have never been through this before watching a loved one go throught this. So it is different for me.

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...
