Well, I went back and bought the outfit I wanted, plus a couple other tops. New clothes. I think I will sport my new outfit at work tomorrow.

In other news, lunch with mom and grandma went well. Mom had to take grandma to a doctor's appointment afterwards.

My grandma was having problems with bleeding like she was having a period, so she went to an ob/gyn who wanted to do a heteroscopy. She had that last week and had to go back in for the results today. Well, my mom just texted me. My grandma has uterine cancer. So, the doctor is sending her to an oncologist and highly recommending a hysterectomy. Doctor also said she may need a short round of radiation. Grandma is in denial. She believes if she thinks positive thoughts and believes she does not have it that it will go away.

She will be 79 next week. That's pretty old to have surgery, but it is needed. Supposably the doctor said it is a pretty simple procedure now compared to when my mom had one in the 1980's. Still, it's major surgery. I mean they are removing a body part.

I don't know how to take all of this, she's my last living grandparent. My mom's dad had a heat attack when I was 5. He was 53. My dad's mom died when I was in college of emphesema. She was 65. My dad's dad just died this past February of old age. He was 89. Now my mom's mom is sick. I hate getting old, family gets old and dies.

My mom says everything is going to be okay and the hysterectomy will remove the cancer as long as it hasn't spread to other areas. My grandma was bleeding off an on for 3 years before she went to see a doctor about it. She claimed it was just a period. Umm....grandma, people in their 70's don't have periods.

Now, I guess when I go to the ob/gyn for my yearly visits, I will have to answer the question of any family member ever have cancer with yes. That scares me.
