I lost my Grandfather to cancer a few years ago.
The worst part about it is that the first doctor who saw him, diagnosed him incorrectly, told him that he was completely fit and sent him home.
On subsequent checks in two different cities, we found that it was too late to operate, and that we would have to watch him go.

Now a friends grandmother has cancer, and luckily they have spotted it in its earlier stages.
She goes in for surgery in four days.
I will pray for her.

    

Yes it was tough luck for your family.I would pray to God to give mental strength to you and your family.I think that it may have happened that at the time of first check up the doctor would not have found it too serious and hence he would have ask to go home and in the meanwhile it affected fast to his body.I would also pray for your friends grandmother.

Thank you, Vandy!
Well, my friends grand mother came out of the ICU today.
Now only subsequent checks will tell us if the operation was a success :-)
Things are looking up Up UP!

It is good news that your grand mother has come out of the ICU. I hope she is fine now.
