She has breast cancer again

Third time

Going into surgery on the 21st

It's outpatient so I don't think it's like

Bad

I think?

But she is not a young lady

Gram's basically my second mom; we're really close

God damn that just punched me in the stomach

oh geez im so sorry. best wishes for her surgery

It's outpatient and she didn't mention needing to do chemo again so I'm like...it might just be lymph nodes

They saw something they didn't like and they want gone

She said she'd let me know more after obviously

I'm two states away and if she asked me to come home I'd drop everything

It's just...really stressful

oh man Im' sorry. crossed fingers she bounces back from the surgery okay but it does sound like it should be relatively simple at least

She's a tough old lady so I doubt this would stop her

She did this song and dance like

30 years ago when I was little, then again when I was in my 20s - that one was the rough one, she had to do chemo and stuff but she beat the shit out of it

So I'm sure she can do it again

But it does sound like a simple thing. The fact that she TOLD me means its serious - she tends to keep medical stuff to herself

ugghh that fucking sucks i'm sorry
hopefully surgery goes well and she can kick its ass a third time

Thanks guys; I appreciate it

I hope she'll be able to get the treatment she needs ! ;n;

Me too

There's nothing I can do about it so I'm trying not to stress

I'm so sorry, that's very scary but I hope it will be alright and an easy treatment!

I hope so too

oof I'm so sorry for the news. here's hoping it's something they can scoop out and keep an eye on and it's as done as it can be

I really hope so

I hope everything will be okay because if it goes sideways, my housemates will have just left so I won't be able to go back home

I'm taking care of the animals and the house while they're away and we don't have anyone else in town that would be able to look after the animals

And they're not critters I could take with me

But given what Gram said I don't think it is a serious surgery

It might be a go in and remove, test and then go from there

I haven't been able to concentrate on the project I wanted to get done today so I'm just like

Trying to not guilt myself for finishing it rn; I still have time tomorrow thank god

At least I got the project done and sent off so I don't have to fret about it so I can just be a depressed lump

If there was ever a time to be kind to yourself, it’s after getting news like that

It sucks because I know that I can't do a damn thing about it but it's still stressful
