Grandad

Hello, my grandad is given until Christmas

he is on radiotherapy everyday to make him eat easier

im really scared to lose him I don't want to lose him 

 I grew up 21 years with him being there 

he was not just a old grandad he was a firefighter. 

I don't think he deserves this. He's done so good in life, never been to prison or anything 

 

in just so sad and hurt right now. 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat KJC1995 although I'm sorry to hear about your grandad.

    It can be scary finding out that you are going to lose someone close to you but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. Many members on the forum will understand the sadness and pain you are feeling having been in similar positions with their nearest and dearest and I'm sure they will post soon to offer their support and advice.

    I know it'll be tough but if you can try to make the most of the time you do have left together and make as many happy memories as you can for the future.

    Wishing you and your grandad all the best,

  • Enjoy all your time with him....As I feel very sure he will enjoy you and the rest of the family..

    The best always have to go before...to make sure that the party is in full swing...At least thats what   I keep telling my Grandchildren...Be strong..be brave...you and your family will need to be both..

    Your Grandad did a very special job...He was a hero to many....but ignored by those that have no idea about the real world....He will be fine.....as you will....when the time comes....cry....and cry a lot....But remember one thing.....when you were a little ...he used to pick you up....and tell you to stop crying....Thats what Grandads do.......Be brave....Your Grandad always was....and always will be....

  • Very sorry to hear of your grandad's condition. Be strong for your grandad. Show him how much you love and care for him. Be there till the end. Its absolutely devastating to have to go through this but just imagine how your grandad feels. God bless you and your grandad.
