So My Grandma Has Cancer ;-;

If I lose her, I lose 3/4 of my grandparents.
You might remember my topic about my grandpa. If you don't, go check it out

So, anyway, my mom went back to China for, like, A MONTH to mourn for him and then she came back and acted normal. I was ALREADY starting to get suspicious when she spilled the beans. So, anyway, my mom told me that my grandma had cancer and they did some surgery but she's STILL in the hospital and now I'm really worried. I mean, I'm like a 100% supporter of Susan G. Breast Cancer thing. I mean, I buy their small asseceries (<---- I spelled that SO wrong) at the store. I mean, I'm already decked out in the headband, bracelet, necklace, (I don't have pierced ears so I can't get the earrings) shoe laces... pencils.... So, I don't know WHAT to act like (surprised, sad, angry, normal). I've already told mintchocolate600 and she just shrugged.

Aw geez... that's horrible. ☹️

Just be there for her, send her letters, give her gifts and meals... Can you visit her?

@jennifer You're actually making me cry. Cancer has also really affected my family. My aunt and my mom's best friend both succumbed to breast cancer.

jennifer • 31 January 2013 at 7:23 PM

@lucky_cricket Sorry. ;-; I think you've told me that before, it was really sad.

@horse1254 lol no. We live OCEANS apart from each others!

lucky_cricket • 31 January 2013 at 7:26 PM

@jennifer Yeah probably.

By the way, your ulert is awesome!! And is Barista uft?

jennifer • 1 February 2013 at 1:45 PM

@jennifer
Awww I'm so sorry☹️

My uncle passed away of cancer. I remember how stunned I was when I heard. You can still make an impact on her though, even if you can't see her. Write her letters whenever you can, grandmas love handwritten notes. She's probably feeling very alone. Also try to call her in your spare time, I'm sure she loves talking to you. I wouldn't try to talk to your mom about it because she's probably just as upset if not more than you. Talk to friends and people on here who can relate😊 Keep me posted

jennifer • 1 February 2013 at 1:55 PM

@rileytibbles_side XD Ai-ya! She doesn't even understand English and I'm too "Americanfied" to understand what she says. XP

@Jennifer
She has breast cancer? Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. I can try and help you get better. I have two grandparents who have cancer: My Papaw has Black Lung from Snuff, and my Popo has Lung cancer. Is there anything I can do to cheer you up? Trust me, I cheer ALMOST everyone up. Even my Grandparents are happy and laugh like crazy when I'm around 😊.

jennifer • 1 February 2013 at 2:51 PM

@redstar-fireclan XD She doesn't have BREAST cancer. I just said I SUPPORTED Susan B walk for Breast cancer XD

@jennifer
Sorry about your grandma, i know what its like being worried for someone but living so far away. I never got to meet my Mom's dad & I met my grandma twice & then she died and i couldnt go to the funeral because she lived on the other side of the world & I couldnt be gone from school for that long. I only have 1/4 grandparents left too. Hope your Grandma gets better :'( My regards

redstar-fireclan • 1 February 2013 at 3:03 PM

@Jennifer
LOL xD Sorry.

@jennifer
Aww...I know what it's like. Everyone in my family except my parents, sister, and one relative to take care of us, is in china. FYI, my mom was born in a family of 6 kids. One of my uncles that I really loved, died when I only saw him...three times. And those times were when I was younger. My grandfather died before I was even born. Last time we visited China, we went to his grave and mourned him. Again. The place was amazing and beautiful, but I knew sadness was behind all the gorgeousness. I get you...a lot.

Edit:
My uncle died of cancer...a few days/weeks from my cousin's wedding.

P.S. They don't speak English...at all.

@jennifer

I'm so sorry. I know exactly how hard it is to cope with. Today is actually the one year anniversary of my grandmother's death.

Are you able to go visit her? Or does she live in China too?

EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently I can't read.

I guess my new question would be, are you very close to her? And by that I mean what is your relationship like?

cotton • 3 February 2013 at 12:35 PM

@jennifer I'm so sorry! I hope that you can contact your grandma, maybe write her letters, like @rileytibbles_side said. Since she doesn't speak English, you could type your letter into Google Translate or another translating website and then copy words (or symbols, if she speaks Chinese/Japanese/etc.) into your letter. 😊 I really hope she gets better soon.

horse1254 • 3 February 2013 at 4:16 PM

Oh, ok. ^^'

trish • 3 February 2013 at 4:57 PM

@jennifer I've lost my sister to cancer, so I know exactly how you feel right now. February is the month of affection, so send your grandmother some love overseas.(

chapus • 3 February 2013 at 5:09 PM

@jennifer Omg, this is so sad. ;-; I find myself lucky to have a healthy family. v,v I really wish the best of luck for your grandmother. I find it unfortunate that some people out there aren't as lucky as others, it breaks my heart. :'(

@jennifer
I'm so sorry about our Grandma,you must be going through a lot.

jennifer • 5 February 2013 at 5:45 PM

@bluebelle Aww! 'Tanks! ^^ Cancer is getting bigger and bigger, I realize. My classmate's mom got breast cancer.
