Unexpected news

I started this post out writing a happy little note about how I can actually hold a pen and write without pain for the first time in... I'm not really sure how long. And about how nice it is to be able to do so. Really, it's such a simple thing, and it's made me so incredibly happy today -- I've been writing myself little notes all day.

...

And then Mom came over. She took Gramps for a cyscopsopy today, and apparently he has bladder cancer. It's in the early stages, and he's going in for a procedure to remove the mass ASAP.

And now being giddy and happy about being able to write feels... kind of silly and frivolous.

I'm dealing... pretty well, all things considered. Better than the last time he was diagnosed. (What the HELL, Grampa? First a sarcoma on the arm, then leukemia, and now bladder cancer. PLZ TO STOP WITH THE CANCEROUS CELL-GROWING, KTHX.)

So, yeah. Good thoughts, prayers, whatever your personal preference happens to be -- would be greatly appreciated. ♥

Dammit, Granpa! CONTROL YOUR CELL DIVISIONS.

Sending good thoughts. :)

Oh man. Best of luck to your grandfather.

And no, it's not frivolous to be happy about your hand.

*hugs* I'm glad they caught it now. Hopefully it will respond to treatment.

Well, it's good they caught it in early going. Hopefully that bodes well for treatment.

Consider those thoughts to be yours...

Awful News

So sorry to hear this - that sucks a lot, but considering his age and how early it was nabbed, hopefully this will just be another scary but ultimately okay footnote for him.

I'm thinking of you and your mom.

I choose optimism. I hope your grandfather will be alright.
