Cancer is such a nasty word.
Jana told her 2 year old daughter that Great Grandpa has cancer...
I cringed.
Can't cancer be called something else?!
Seriously it is so dirty!
My Grandpa Mitchell was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer a few months ago.
I was able to go see him at the hospital on Tuesday night after his first dose of radiation.
He was in such great spirits....but I think it might have to be because of his medication he was on. If anybody knows him, he has a ... unique sense of humor. But after his treatment, his humor was just...bazaar! (but so entertaining!)
Luckily his cancer was caught really early and he only needs a total of 6 radiation treatments. He goes to the hospital for 2 days, gets 3 treatments, comes home for 2 weeks then does another 2 days of treatments. The doctor says the radiation will be 98% successful!! How awesome is that!!!
I am so grateful for modern medicine and that this procedure is available and will save my grandpa. He's only 75 for goodness sakes!! Love you Grandpa!!
