Im a 40 year old woman who feels very lucky at her age to have a set of grandparents.......my nan is the type of person that if shes got a scratch she will go to the doctors, my grandad on the other hand hates doctors hospitals etc......my grandad started getting poorly a few years ago with his bowels and he went for tests and we thought that he had prostrate problems........over the last 6 months hes has got weaker and the doctors thought he had testicallar cancer ....he had a scan and all was good......the funny thing was that night a dr called at my grandads house saying that he needed an urgent blood test.......this was a Friday night at 8pm......the alarm bells started ringing.........
I saw some of his blood test requests and they were saying HCC/CA of course when i returned home i was straight on the internet trying to find out every piece of information.......my grandad then had an mri within 4 days he had a call to say that something had been found on his liver .................that was it..........nothing else happened for 4 weeks until my sister said that he should get intouch with NHS/PALS as nothing had been done my grandad got a phone call to say come in the next day for an apt but he couldnt attend and that he would be able to attend the following week................in the back of my mind i hoped it was all going to be ok my nan thought that he was just going for another apt she had no idea what was going to be said................
So now my grandad is living with terminal liver cancer and he has been given a few months.......hes yellow and frail but trying to make the best of a bad situation.....the consultant said that she would send his file to kings to see if chemo or new tablets that have just come out could help so we are now waiting for the phone call.....................from hearing about my nan s aches and pains all my life its now stopped she is 100% focused on my grandad i have never seen such love between them..........the last few days have been good days he sounds good on the phone.........i hope it continues
