Everyone please do me a huge favor and pray for my grandpa.

He was just admitted to the hospital yesterday because he was "losing a lot of blood" (I'm on the other side of the country and no one in my family felt the need to give me more information than that, until now).

Today my sister tells me that they've discovered that he has colon cancer.

My grandma's father died of colon cancer, so she's tested for it every five years. She just got tested the other day, my grandpa didn't.

They say that the cancer is pretty compacted and he should be fine once they take it out. They don't think it's spread.

My grandpa :(

He's getting a catscan later on today to see if the cancer's spread at all, and I don't know when he'll be having surgery.

If any of you pray, please pray for my gramps :(

Sorry for the bad news. Going through something like that too. My grandmother is in the hospital, her health has been getting worse and worse. Don't think she has much more time. :(

I will.

My grandpa had some kind of cancer i preaty sure, nobody ever talks about it however, and it must have happened when i was little or not born yet.

It still worries me however.

Cancer sucks, my grandma died last Tuesday. They thought she was going to make it to be 70 years old, that was until they found out they were wrong and she had breast cancer.

They did a catscan that found that the cancer hasn't spread to his liver, which is good news. They don't know if it's spread to his lymph nodes yet, and won't know until they do surgery to remove the initial tumor sometime early next week.

Merry Christmas, eh.

Good news Update!!

They performed the surgery today and found that the cancer is isolated - it hasn't spread anywhere! They don't think he'll need chemo, and he's recovering just fine.

Thanks for your well-wishes everyone!! :love:

Thanks everyone :)

I talked to Grandpa this morning and he's doing just fine.

Still pissed off that he can't eat anything other than soup, but other than that he's gonna be okay!

I knew everything would work out in your grandfather's favor. It also sounds like your grandfather is in good spirits. Great News :)
