My poor grandpa
This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by Deedee86 on Thursday, May 4, 2017 and has 17 replies.
He lost his wife if 67 years in March and has been absolutely devastated.
A few hours ago, he found out that he has liver cancer.
He mall walks every day and doesn't look or act a day over 75 (he's 90).
He just bought a brand new car on Saturday.
I finally convinced him to go to one of my son's school functions next week. It's a WW2 museum that the kids put together. He was excited about something after being so down lately.
And now this......

He is so lost without my grandmother. Maybe this is God having mercy on him and bringing them back together sooner.

Thank you.
I'm ok. My heart is breaking for him. He's been through so much and now this.
How is he taking It?
I've seen stories about long married couples where one partner passes not long after the other.
67 years is impressive. That's a rare thing nowadays.

He has been taking it hard. One minute he's crying and the next minute he is angry.
He is fighting with my uncles a lot so they send me to handle him. He hardly ever lashes out at me or my mother but he is downright mean to them.
He has been calling 911 a lot lately because he can't breathe but when he gets there, his oxygen saturation is 100% so they have been telling him that its anxiety and sending him home. He usually calls me from the hospital and I go there. He went both Saturday and Monday for the same reason and they dismissed him both times like he was crazy. On Monday, I drive him straight from the er to his regular doctor and they immediately questioned his blood test results from the hospital. For some reason, they never mentioned them to us but his liver enzymes were way off. He had an ultrasound yesterday and it showed a mass on his liver. They performed the Ct scan today and confirmed its cancer.
Around 20 years he had lung cancer that was caught early. They were able to remove the mass with surgery and he never needed any further treatment. I guess this is the lung cancer returning in the liver.

The lashing out I suspect is fear.
Unfortunately, he's going to have to work through it, just give him all the support he needs (even when he tries to make people think he doesn't want it).

When you say it's "cancer" does that mean it's malignant or benign? What do they want to do for treatment, if any? At his age, options available aren't always viable.
You know, cancer is already there, when we anger or we have an emotion burst from the past, the fights with brothers for instance, can start cancer.
I had this experience with my father, and I know this because our body sometimes replies, I was without breath at sleep! waked up in stress! could n´t breath at all for a minute or so!, it was when his cancer started and no one knew he had it for a couple of months! I gone to doctor and no reason for me to be out of breath, then it disappeared. But cancer was found, and was at a stage of no return.
And what started it? he joined brothers in summer to do a job together (rare event, never happened for long years), I, Pisces sun, was the only one of my cousins and brother to go along, what a nice thing to be with my father doing a job. But then my father had discussions with his older brothers because he had the tools and they took them, and worse, I gone help one of my uncles and my father just blow up, you are to be here near me all time! he said.
Later. much later I read an article that said exactly that, old surge of stuck emotions can start cancer. And also there talks about out of breath with no reason means a person close by that you care about, is with a big health problem, my father in this case!!!

My mother and her brothers will accompany him to his appointment with an oncologist. The cancer diagnosis was given after bloodwork, ultrasound and Ct scan. There was no biopsy done. Realistically, what kind of treatment can he have? He's 90 years old! From what I have read, liver cancer doesnt respond well to treatment regardless of age. It seems kind of cruel to put him through chemo to extend his life by 2 months. It's not my decision though but I'm pretty sure he feels the same.
Well, they just got back from the doctor's office. It's stage 4. They are calling in Hospice. Doctor said that it will progress rapidly. On Saturday, they were telling me that he was just having anxiety and was very healthy for his age and today he only has a month to live.
I guess it's better to go fast than to suffer for years but this all seems too soon.

It must be a lot to go through. I am sorry. Hang in there.
Thank you.
I'm ok. Shocked but ok.
He was lost without my grandmother. This is God's way of having mercy on him.

Sucks balls, man. Sorry to hear.
Life is so cruel, as soon as we realise we must choose to live with nothing but compassion and humor.

subconscious mind, sometimes... as you
believe, by design.
As a man thinks... you know the rest.
I'm sorry, though. :/
How you holding up?

I'm shocked. It's happening so fast. But he is taking it well. Almost like he wants to go find my grandmother.
