Grandma

I was able to talk to Grandma yesterday and she said that she is still in pain. She just sounds kind of sad. I'm so upset that it took so long for her to get treatment. I think someone dropped the ball. She started out with her primary doctor who sent her for x-rays then an MRI and to a specialist out of town who didn't do anything for her. So here she sits almost 2 months later with cancer in her shoulder and spine. I have never seen someone in so much pain. She just sit and moans trying to get comfortable.
Her Oncologist that she is seeing now is awesome!! He is the doctor who treated her breast cancer the first time. He is really on the ball!! He listens to her and really cares. I just wish that Grandma would have seen him first.
She also has some fluid on her lung that was supposed to be drained yesterday. That should make her a little more comfortable. She is also receiving radiation to her shoulder and spine. The radiation treatment is done across from the hospital at the Cancer Center. They have to put her in an ambulance to take her. She isn't able to walk anymore but hopefully she will again.
I just keep thinking about my Grandma laying there in such agony and it breaks my heart. I wish she was here. When I was growing up my Grandpa used to get sick couple times a year. He would go on and on about how bad he felt and Grandma would roll her eyes. She would get so mad at him for belly aching. Grandma would say the he was acting like a 'dying cat'!! She didn't want to hear anyone complain. So for her to moan in pain, it must be bad.
Please continue to pray for her...I love her so much.
