It just took my Nana away tonight at 9pm. :| :( :cry:

Apparently shes been sick or something for the last 25 years? I've never noticed it though until pretty much the last year or so. She got diagnosed or something with all sorts of cancers and it pretty much took over her whole body i think. The past month or so she got really worse and couldn't eat much/at all/properly, then got a little better, then worse again. Eventually she ended up with a walking stick, and very shortly after a walking frame. In and out of the hospital so much that i think they knew her quite well.

And yeah. When there today i got told that she always feels hot or something and is sweating, but her skin was dead cold (i felt it :? ).

Hadn't seen her for weeks beforehand (even though she and Pop live/lived about five minutes or less away) and was almost putting off seeing her until tomorrow - so bloody glad i didn't now. :? :shock: Last saw her an hour before she died....

My youngest brother hasn't seen her for probably a month or more, he works nightshift at PPCS and just got the text an hour ago... He's probably going to be kicking himself for quite some time now. :(

Thankfully Pop was with Nana when she passed away, but they were a really close couple (been married over 50 years???) so unfortunately i suspect he won't be far away now - as much as i don't want to believe it. They were that sort of couple really. :/

To copy & paste my current MSN Messenger name:
Rest In Peace Nana - Your suffering is finally over. You will be missed.
Thursday 29th November 2007. 9:00pm. Cancer takes another...

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
 
My condolences :indiff: I lost my grandmother a few years ago to cancer and my grandfather a couple of years later, also to cancer. As sad it is to lose a loved one, it has surely been a great blessing to both her and your family that she was able to live and cope with the disease in one form or other for so long and enjoy quality of life until only just recently. To pass away with her loving family around her must have been one final blessing that would have meant everything to her. Similarly, my gran passed away with her family around her - although my grandad was the only one actually by her side when she did actually pass away. Although it was difficult (especially for my Mum), it was not especially 'sad' because we knew that my gran had such a happy and full life, a sentiment reflected at her funeral - which, as paradoxical as it may sound, was a happy day.
 
My sympathy to your and your family. I lost my father to cancer about 10 years ago, and my mother has had a bout of it as well. You'll be in my thoughts.
 
My condolences. :(

I lost my dad to cancer last year. It started in his liver this time (although it really started in his kidney that was removed years ago and we thought he was clear) and like your Nana, by the end, it was in his bones and practically everywhere else too.

Cancer is a bitch.
 
I too know the pain from loosing a loved one to cancer. My condolences go out to you and your family.

Spec....
 
I lost my nan to cancer a few years ago, I know what it's like.

My condolences to you, your family and anyone else concerned.
 
I am sorry to hear about this, anyway on a final note I would like to say my condolences are with you and your family.
 
My condolences.

A member of my family is fighting cancer at the moment.
 
My condolences.

People here may have read before my nan passed away from cancer not that long ago, so I sort of know how you feel. She was mis-diagnosed as having Irritable Bowl but it was a cancer of the bowl instead. It was a little too late since the Kemopherapy wasn't doing anything but making matters worse. She degraded month after month until she couldn't go outside, since her immune system would not be able to fight off any type of common illness. She eventually passed away due to a blood clot caused by inactivity.
 
My condolences.

My wife's grandmother died of cancer this past year. It is truly a hard thing to go thorugh.
 
Yikes. Cancer is really a huge problem.

I'm very sorry to hear this. I wish you the best. My condolences go to you and your family.

I remember over the summer I went on a hike with my friends, and we stayed at my best friend's grandparents' place. When we left his grandfather was there but getting back and hearing that his grandfather had passed away the night before was tough even for me. But this is probably because that is the closest I have ever been to death.

Fortunately, cancer still has not affected anybody in my life.
 
Sorry to hear that. My grandma is also fighting cancer so I guess I can better sympathize.

Good luck.
 
That is terrible, I know what it is like, 4 days ago was 5 years since my grandpa's to cancer among other things. My Condolences

Cancer is a mother ****er.
 
My condolences, my nan also died from cancer a year yesterday.

I however, didn't see my nan for the last month of her life as she wasn't in a great mental state and my parents thought it was for the best. I thank them in a way, the last time I saw her she barely knew what time of day it was, it was almost like alzehmeirs, and aparantley she only declinde in the following month.
 
My Condolences. I know how it feels. I lost my grandfather cause of lung cancer. It sucks:guilty:
 
My condolences as well.

I don't know what that feels like, my mom is a cancer survivor, going through it before I was born. (Hope that's not a bad omen:scared:)
