Hi there,

Three days ago my 92 year old nan told me that cancer in one lung had spread over the course of a year to her chest.  She didn't tell me that she was diagnosed a year ago as she didn't want to worry anyone.  She doesn't know what stage she is in, what type she has, and how long she has left - and doesn't want to know.  I know she has lived a long life but I'm scared as I have no idea what to expect.  I work abroad and leave in a few days and fear this will be the last time I'm going to see her.  I'm so sorry to post this as I know there are many who are suffering at a far younger age, but I'm very close to my nan and just want to reach out here - I'm so confused and don't  know how long I have left with my nan, and think I should be leaving my job abroad right now.
