I'm so glad I found this thread! I recently lost my grandmother to Breast Cancer. She wasn't just Grandma- she was Cookie, the all-powerful leader of us females in the family. Every December before Christmas we do something called the "Girl's Night Out" Where all the girls and women go out to dinner or do shopping. Stuff like that. This was the first Girl's Night Out without Grandma... The most painful part of her dying was that I had to WATCH her die! I can't stand to watch my Grandmother wither away to nothing...

I am so sorry. My Grandmother was the best friend a girl could have. I still miss her all of these years later.
That is so young to have such a great loss. You have my condolences, and I hope you continue your girl's night each year in her memory. She'd love that.

Sorry for the loss of your Grandma. I lost mine when I was 18 to stomach cancer. My Gramma was a wild woman. Ran away from her abusive first husband and hitchhiked with her boyfriend all the way from NJ for FLA down A1A in the late 1940's She was a beer drinking, honky tonk singing, bikini wearing, cigarette smoking, wild beachbabe if there ever was one, lol. Totally the opposite from my cookie making Grandma, lol. It stinks when a girl doesn't have someone who is more experienced in the world that she can talk to who isn't her mother but loves her just as much.

"Girls's Night Out" sounds like a great way of remember your Grandma and honoring all the Ladies in your family. A Toast (with sparkling grape juice of course) To all the wonderful women out there who hold our hand as we take our first step, wipe our tears when we fall, and lead us to the end of their road, letting go as we begin blazing our own trail. A part of our past and our future, forever in our hearts.

Hi everyone. I have a moment that I am able to check in on everyone and see how things are going and share a bit as well.
Luna, I am so sorry to hear that your DH is having such a terrible time with the RA! You are both in my thoughts daily as well as my prayers.

Coyote, I pray your chemo is going well and your are growing stronger my friend!

All the rest of you who are dealing with or have dealt with cancer, Blessings upon you and your families. May God bring you each the peace, healing and strength you need in this troubled time.
For those who have lost a loved one due to this, my most heart felt sympathy. It is a task I wish no one had to endure.

My Grandfather is a bit better but his strength is not returning like I would wish.
My Mother has not had a chemo treatment in several weeks because she is too sick and weak. I fear that the cancer has progressed to the point that treatment is no longer any option.
I and my family are hanging in there and holding on to faith in Our Creator. It is no longer in our hands.

Today my parents were told that the Dr wants Hospice to come in. We are all reeling from the reality that this statement drove home. I'm at a loss for words and not even sure how I feel any more other than a bit numb.
