That's the way I feel today. Unsettled.
This weekend I found out that my Grandmother has cancer again. This will be her 3rd round with it. She's had breast cancer twice and now has cancer in her spine and back. I can't even begin to describe how that makes me feel. She's a real trooper. She really is, but in the back of my mind, I wonder, how many times can a person beat this fight?
Turns out, she has a gene that has been linked to causing cancer - I'm not sure what it's called or the stats on it, but I do know that other family members have been tested for this gene and thankfully, do not have it. But, this gene is why the cancer keeps coming back.
A while back, she was checked for cancer - just a "normal" screening and came back cancer free. Then, she started feeling numbness in her leg and so they thought it was probably a pinched nerve but decided to do an MRI, just in case. I'm thankful they did. Otherwise, they wouldn't have found it. It wasn't a pinched nerve. It was cancer.
So, today she starts her radiation. We're hoping she doesn't have to go through Chemo again. We shall see I guess. So, I'm asking you all to do me a favor. Pray. Pray for my grandmother and my family. Pray that she'll win this battle, once again.
