Oh Tina! {{HUGS}} I'm so sorry to hear this news. I wish there were

something I could say to ease the pain. Just know that we're here for you

whenever you need us. I know this next advice is difficult, but try to take

one day at a time. As with autism, if you look to the future, it's

overwhelming. Concentrate on the next hour and one day at a time.

Again, I'm sorry to hear this.

OT my grandpa's results

My grandpa had his consultation this morning and got all the results

from all the tests they have been doing the last couple of weeks. He

has bone cancer and it has spread very badly. they give him only 6

months, and there is no chance of curing it or lessening it. They

will be starting a mild does of chemo next week to try to help him

feel better. When my mom told me this I said but that will only make

him sick. Why doesn't he just enjoy the time left, especially if the

chemo won't lengthen his time left. But I quess if he gets sick from

it they will stop.

I shouldn't even be at work today, I can't concentrate. I keep

pressing the wrong buttons, and screwing everything up. In between

crying. I'm worried about my brother, he is taking this very hard.

I knew he would because a couple of weeks ago we were talking about

this and I said to him, " you know grandpa's dying right? " My brother

refused to believe it, saying he will be just fine. When I called

him on my way to work he couldn't even talk because he was crying.

I also worry about my grandma. She will never be able to live

without grandpa. Now if it where the other way around we know

grandpa would be able to handle it.

I just can't accept that I'm only going to have one more X-mas with

him around, and that next summer he probably won't be here anymore.

It isn't fair. He is only going to see one more of Mark's birthdays,

and it hurts that Mark is probably not going to remember this

wonderful man. Okay I need to stop because the screen is being

blurred from tears. Thanks for listening.

A girl at work told me the same thing and you guys are right. I keep

breaking down crying everytime I think: this will be the last X-mas

with him here, or he won't be here for Mark's fourth birthday, and

things like that. I almost wish we didn't know how long he has left,

I don't like knowing a time frame I have left to spend time with him.

Oh Tina, I'm so sorry.

Tina, I'm so sorry. This is very bad news. Your grieving period starts

now and it's actually good to cry about it when you can instead of

trying to bottle it up right now. Hopefully if you can cry and get

angry about it at home (or even work some) and especially to this list,

then when you're actually with him you may feel more relaxed and be able

to enjoy him better.

I have one grandparent left and I am very close to her (in my heart, but

not mileage-wise). She is declining and I know I'm going to lose her

within a year or so probably. I just try to spend as much time with her

as I can asking her questions about her life, our family history, and

her feelings on subjects and absorb it as much as I can so I will be

able to pass her on down to the generation that won't know her as well.

(I'm the oldest grandchild)

As for your family problems. Maybe you should call Dr. Phil and drag

your Aunt on camera to have him set her straight. I'm serious.

Sorry, I sure hope this works out for everyone.

Oh Tina, how awful. I lost my Grandpa after a long struggle with lung cancer.

I'll be thinking of you and your family.

Take care, hon

P.S. Maybe you could put together a photo album or scrapbook for Mark to have

when he's older? My aunt did one full of pictures of my dad and I cherish it.
