Earlier on today, my Nan was diagnosed with womb cancer.
I knew that it was a possibility but after me having cancer, I didn't really think that it would happen to anyone else in my family. I don't think that it's hit me yet really, it's weird. It brings back a lot of memories of the time I was diagnosed, Nan came over and handed me the ring binder (which is the exact same colour, size. etc as I got given) and I opened it to see the name of her oncologist. Dr T- my oncologist! Weird. But anyway, I absolutely loved my oncologist and I know that my Nan will be in good hands.
My Nan told her Doctor about me having cancer and apparently everyone in the room knew who I was, apparently I was the talk of the hospital for a while. Guess that's what you get for being an 18 year old with larynx cancer! lol
The first step for my Nan is a hysterectomy. Hopefully, the cancer hasn't spread anywhere but we will find out soon. She'll be having an MRI scan asap and I guess they'll do the staging/grading after they remove everything and can do more biopsies. My Nan is 72 and has COPD and I just hope to God that she an have a hysterectomy and that's it. No chemo, no radio.
I don't know, it's just weird. I've been in my Nan's position and it's weird looking in from the outside. I guess it's good that I know the medical terms, I know about the stages/grades but then at the same time maybe it's not so good because I do really know about everything.
I got through it, my Nan is an amazingly strong woman so she can too. I really hope she can, my Nan is my hero, my best friend and the worlds best Grandmother. I love her to absolute pieces and can't imagine what it would be like without her.
Anyway, there's my update. I hate cancer :( (Who doesn't?)

P.S Found out the other week that my cat has cancer too, he had it removed and now it's growing back again. They said he can't be cured.
