Cancer Patient. Only a Few Days Left. Please Give Advice. Posted: 12-02-04 17:35pm
My grandmother has been undergoing
chemotherapy for cancer in her uterus for
almost 2 years. Recently, an abnormal
fluid build-up occured in her lungs of
which the doctors could not explain.
They drained the fluid which occupied over
3/4 of her lungs, hoping it would not come
back because of extreme discomfort. Not
but a few weeks ago did she notice it was
getting harder and harder to breath, even
the slightest movement such as picking up
a glass of water left her out of breath.
We took her to the emergency room hoping
more fluid was to be drained. As the
doctors began the surgery, the discovered
it was not fluid in her lungs, the cancer
had spread. She is currently at baptist
memorial hospital and not expected to live
for more than a few days. The doctors
have said that nothing can be done about
the situation. I do not know much about
organ transplants except that donors are
very rare. My grandmother is 69 years of
age and has several different degrees from
college. She is big on volunteer work
and loves being around children. She has
probably read more books in the past year
than the average person does in their life
time. Despite the fact of what she has
been going through the past 2 years, she
manages to be optimistic and cheerful,
cherishing every second of life. For the
past 14 years, she has been my role model
and best friend. All the time she tells
me to pursue my dream of going to medical
school and becoming an oncologist. If
you have any advice or know any really
good doctors that could help her out in
the next few days, please post or e-mail
me.
Thank you
- bailey

Your Grandmother Posted: 12-30-04 23:11pm
Hello
I am sorry,i know this is late but it is
always sad to let go of one who means so
much and is so good to us. I pray she
doesn't suffer much,or did not,and that
she had salvation. Remember the good
times,and some day the pain will go,and
the good memories will overshadow them.
Sometimes we just have to let go.

Dear bailey, if it isn't already too late,
there is one person I can think of who
might be able to help but he's expensive
and not really a medical doctor. It has
been proven that most cancer is diet
related...Improper assimilation of
proteins and sugars. Also, malnutrition
and chemical use can be attributed to the
disease. Look up Dr. Gary young in utah.
