Cancer The Silent Killer

I want to thank all of my readers for reaching out to me and sending their condolences. I sincerely appreciate it! I am now ready to speak. My Grandmother who I consider to be my Mother has passed away. I am not taking it well. I don't really know how to feel but I've been praying alot. I knew she was sick and I knew she was old but I still didn't want to let her go. She was my rock!! Whenever I needed something either for me or my children she was there. Even when my own mother couldn't do it my Grandmother was there! So please bare with me during my trying time. The picture above is not of my Grandmother but of a cancer patient. My Grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and it literally took her life. But, worse than that she suffered. She was in extreme pain all the time. In her last couple of hours of her life I went to go see her and couldn't believe the sight of the person who I once called Grandma! It was a very traumatic experience for me. I was scared, shocked and stunned! I don't want anyone to ever experience what I felt at that time. Words cannot describe what I saw! After visiting with my Grandmother...she died an hour later. I thank God that I was at least able to say goodbye to her and to tell her I loved her! Now, if anyone knows me they know I work at the hospital and today of all days I had to register a patient who was born on the same day as my oldest daughter but just a year older to the date and he had brain cancer. A 16 year old boy with brain cancer!!! It broke my heart to see this child. He was incoherent and looked very much like how my Grandmother looked when I last saw her.....and as I placed the patient bracelet on his arm he tried to pull away. It was like he didn't want to be there and had had enough. The boy's mother gently coaxed him into putting the bracelet on and as I walked away I said a prayer for everyone who has to deal with the silent killer! I just want you guys to know that it isn't that silent cuz the tears and screaming I let out was enough to let people know something wasn't right. So I just ask that you bare with me cuz for the next couple of days I'll probably only post about 2 articles a day. Again thank you for your prayers and they are appreciated.
