i just found out my grandpa has a brain tumor he's been in ICU for a while because he had pneumonia, and he had a stroke about 2-3 years ago, my grandma thought he might of had another small stroke because his speech had gotten worse, they did an MRI and found a fairly large brain tumor (4x4 inches) boo to bad news indeed |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I am very sorry to hear this man and as ecnad said "I hope things go smoothly and comfortably for your grandad which ever path it is chosen to go down." It's at times like these i would like to be able to say something which would be helpful but i can't. |

i haven't talked to the doctors, only my mom (called from new zealand), who heard it from my grandma and skink don't worry about it man, i never know what to say to anyone either. but god my girlfriend sucks, i told her, and we talked about it maybe 2 minutes, (you know "oh thats too bad, is he the one who lives in peoria", that was pretty much it) and then she's been bitching about how her and her room mate had a fight last night for the last like 20 minutes ugh |
||||||||

|
The pathos of that terrible news combined with the "shit eating" avatar is almost too much to bear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Very sorry to hear bout your grandpa. Yikes. Maybe they can zap it with radiation therapy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they don't think he'd be strong enough after any kind of cancer-removing procedures (chemo/surgery etc) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
boo to bad news indeed, indeed =*( I think p0g0 must be right, because my one of my close friend's brother had a motorcycle accident today and had to go to the hospital because he broke his leg, not comparable to a brain tumor really, but its odd so much ill shit seems to happen on holidays. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i just heard from my mom, she flew in from new zealand to see him he's coming home from the hospital, basically to die, i'm going to visit this weekend |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry to hear that nigel. my sympathies to you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that's the breaks. my condolences, nigel. if you need to talk or anything, you know my aim |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
crappy dude that's a pretty big tumor i reckon, btw |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah and i guess the feeding tube was making the tumor worse somehow my mom and grandma have learned how to vacuum the fluid out of his lungs so they're going to take care of him till he goes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's sweet what feeding tube? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he'd been in a hospital for a while, his lungs kept filling up with fluid so they couldn't let him eat feeding tube=basically a tube that goes into your stomache that squeezes out protein and things you need to function |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so that making the brain tumor bigger is a hypotheses of yours? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no it's what the doctors said i guess |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

from my livejournal: i'm in peoria now so he has 1-2 weeks to live, his body has already started shutting down the digestive track, the feeding tube was only feeding the tumor i guess. i don't feel like it's real. like this man doesn't seem real. his hair is turning grey for the first time to me, his stubble has gone unshaven. One of his eyes stays really close to being shut and the other one stays wide open. I shook his hand and asked him how he was doing, he can't talk,he has a tube in his neck. but he either made a "so so" movement with his hand or saluted me, i couldn't really tell. the hardest part is going to be leaving. do i just say good bye? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's doing really bad we're taking turns sitting with him and holding his hand you can even tell he's gotten worse from the time we left and came back (3 hours) teary eyes all around |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that must be awful. there isn't much I can say, really. hope you and your family are coping, how impossible that may seem. I guess saying goodbye maybe the only thing you can really say. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
best wishes to all of your family, especially your grandpa. xxx |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when i left he was in one of his comatose states so i just said goodbye and told him i loved him and kissed his forehead what a shitty day |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn, thats really horrible. hope things go well for you and your family... |

A girl we know who used to be a very close friend of mine, is a teenage mother (well she's nineteen with a ... 3 or 4 year old son) has a brain tumour. She either has about.. 10 years to live or the chance to take a very expensive operation which has a success rate (given the circumstances) of 50% at best. I can't remember exactly why but she is pregnant again. On purpose, she has her reasons, it's not some stupid "Why the fuck is she having a kid - she's gonna die!" thing. I know it doesn't seem to make sens ebut yeah I can't quite remember what the deal is but it did make sense. So yeah..... so many unfair things happen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BY THE WAY: I forgot to mention I do still feel sorry for you and your family, that does suck a big one :( Hope all goes as well as it can possibly go |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was good seeing everyone in the family again. Just scary watching him breathe every 10 seconds through a tube in his neck. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i found out he passed on last night strange since my mom called me after it happened but failed to mention it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he wasn't much of a talker really, unless you got some booze in him once my aunts were talking about how men are bad (you know how ladies are) and they were all whats up with that and he just looked at them and said "honey. that's the nature of the beast." |
