My Grandma.....

...is not doing that great. She just started on some new chemotherapy, (which is supposed to be some really powerful stuff) to fight her breast cancer. However, the chemotherapy is basically killing her. It's giving her these great big sores in her mouth, which means she can't eat. She's already weak enough, and having no solid food is definitely not helping matters. It's a really scary thought that many cancer patients die from malnutrition because the chemotherapy prevents them from eating. Ironic.

Not only can she hardly eat anything, but the chemo is also giving her almost unbearable stomach cramps, plus she still suffers from shortness of breath from the fluid around her lungs. She's supposed to be going back to the doctor this week, but who knows if that's going to help any. So basically she is really really in need of your prayers right now. Also please pray for my grandpa because, as you can imagine, this whole experience is not good for him either. It's just a really scary time for all of us. After losing my dad we really don't want to lose someone else so soon...So thanks for your prayers...

I'm so sorry Hannah! That sounds really awful. I will definitely pray for your grandma and grandpa. I hope the doctors will be able to find something that will help.

Thank you soo much, Hannah! *hugs* That really means a lot to me! Turns out she went to the doctor yesterday, and he said that the medicine had shrunk her cancer a little. Soo we're just hoping that that will continue and that those terrible side effects will go away...Thanks again for your prayers!! ;)
