Hi there - it's sad for you & worrying I know & these things are very hard to come to terms with. It takes time to accept - it doesn't happen overnight & you need time to process it before you do finally come to terms with it. Spending time with your grandad will help him of course, but it will also help you too. You'll see how he's doing & what the prognosis is & all of that will help you deal with his illness.
I hope the prognosis is positive & that you can find a bit of peace in the days & weeks to come. Take care of yourself & do post again if you'd like to. x
Hi,
Thank you for replying!
We had a meeting with the doctors today and they've said that we need to prepare for the worst this weekend - this broke my heart. I live with my grandparents so something so big is just breaking my heart in two. So he can't have any treatment because it's that aggressive and its spreading quicker than they can treat it.
They said it could happen this weekend but could happen in a weeks time but they have told us to prepare for the worst over this weekend.
I keep feeling like I can't do it without my grandad there but I know I have to stay strong for my nana.
Again, thank you for replying!

I'm so sorry to hear this it's dreadful for all of you. Hard for you to imagine I know, but somehow you will manage to cope & stay strong as you say, for your nana & for your grandad too. I'm sure he'll feel more peaceful if he knows you will be ok & care for your nana. You are probably much stronger than you think you are at this moment. I'll think of all of you over the coming days. xx
