it was bound to happen
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. She is almost 94. Grammie was diagnosed with breast cancer in late May.
Mom didnt tell me because she didnt have details and was waiting to hear them from her siblings. Her siblings didnt call about it during the whole month of June. Or email. Nor has she gotten more than "she's on chemo" (Arimidex) and "she seems/says that she's fine" from them via phone now.
Gram had 2 lumps. One as big as a robin's egg, the other small. They wouldn't do surgery.
Happy Independence Day. I know where I'll be going if I get a vacation this fall.

myself, i have one grandmother left who is 95. my mom is not even 60 and is on the verge of open heart surgery. it can be nerve-wracking caring about those you love. lots of hope your grandma is doing well and go see her when you can!

So sorry about Grammie! She's a beautiful woman and I'll be sending her good thoughts. It's tough, this getting older shit...
