I’m a 4 1/2 year breast cancer survivor. I don’t know how ancient your Grandma is or what stage of breast cancer she has. I do know that what got me thru surgery and treatment was what I’ve always called the 3 F’s- Faith,Family and Friends, and family was of the upmost importance!! Let her be mad, sad, whatever but just be there to listen and support her (I’m guessing she’s apprehensive about the effect on your Dad too!!) I was more apprehensive about my family than I was myself. Rage was a huge part for me, frustration at being tired and not able to work or even cook feast!!! But we got thru it and in six months will celebrate the glorious 5 year mark!! Feel free to e-mail me and question questions–there’s way to much to place here!! Hugs to you and your Dad!!
At ancient age cancer typically progresses very slowly. Thus, she may delight in several more excellent years.
But, the next few months may be very worrying since she may be advised to have a surgery followed by radiation and chemotherapy.
You should support her and your father in the subsequent few hard months.
I am vacant owing to a reappearance of breast cancer. It is worrying for the family but everyone is supporting each additional. If someone cries, it’s okay. Let people talk if they want to. Be helpful if you are able to when things need to be done. My family gets together regularly and that helps all of us.
