It’s worth a nickel
Turmoil
I found out today that my grandmother has brain cancer.
She went into the hospital on Tuesday after having a small seizure, and we’ve been waiting all week to find out what’s what.
It had seemed it was contained to a small tumor, and we had hoped that it would be benign, but the doctors this morning said that they believe it’s malignant.
My grandmother is 82 years old, and I’m not sure how well she’ll tolerate a battery of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
I don’t know how to feel.
