It was worse.
My grandmother has been diagnosed with sever cancer (kidney, liver, spleen and lung).
She's in Germany. They'll take the kidney out and then the discussion happens about chemo. It's her 55th wedding anniversary next month. Her husband won't even mention the word.
Now my parents have asked if I want to go over and visit her -probably for the last time, or rather remember her for the lovely person she was.
I'm shattered. I've never had to deal with this.
Drank myself into a stupor.
It's comes after my grandfather (from my other parent) has just been dx'd with possible dementia or sever BPI - but at 70 years old, it's not likely he would only be dx'd now. We meed to get him cleared medically to get to Germany for help, as he's currently in the Philippines.
I'm losing it. And I cant afford to. It will break my family if I crack.
