So I would like to start off in the forum by sharing my news. I have a grandmother with whom I used to be very close. But then her health started deteriorating  significantly over a certain period of time. She starting experiencing severe chest pain, cough, she had severe loss of appetite and as a result of that she also began losing a lot of weight. One day she coughed out blood. Finally she was diagnosed with Lung Cancer.
That was a turning point of our lives. All those long conversations we used to have about our lives stopped, she became withdrawn from all social activities and she used to stay locked up in her room for hours together. We tried counselling sessions but in vain. Now I'm here to get in touch with people who have experienced the same thing and bounced back or even those whose close ones are experiencing these things.
