Bad News

I just found out that my grandfather has a “cancerous lump” on his pancreas.  He went down to the VA hospital in Shreveport the other day for some scheduled tests.  After his sonogram, they immediately made him take a catscan, which was unscheduled.  A few days later, they called to tell him the bad news.

I still don’t know if it’s cancer for sure.  They want to do a biopsy to make sure it’s malignant.  If it is, then my grandfather will have to figure what he wants to do.  Not everyone dies from cancer these days.

My grandfather seems to be taking it pretty well.  He said it could be much worse.  He could have lung cancer and only have a few months to live.  He smoked most of his life, so his chances of getting lung cancer are pretty high.  Instead, he could have a few years left or even beat this kind of cancer.  I hope he does.

I’ll be sure and pray for your grandfather – and the rest of your family! Hope you all hear good news soon!

Best of wishes to your grandfather Chris.

I had the honor of meeting him again in March of 1997, after not seeing him since sometime in 1983. He hadn’t changed much at all, and as always, he was pleasant to talk to.
