Bad news came my way...
It is almost sure that my Grandpa has bone cancer. They did CAT scans and saw lesions in bone tissue. They are doing blood tests to confirm. Chemo/radiation therapy would not be options due to his age and heart condition. If confirmed he will pretty much go right into hospice.
I know I should be handling this better. People don't live forever! Just always seemed like he would, though.
He's 96 years old and still does chores on the farm to this day. Well, maybe not quite "to this day" but he isn't one to just stop because he should be "retired." Picture of health until he had to have heart surgery a little over 5 years ago. Even then he healed quickly and didn't want to spend too much time in the hospital - he had to get back to the farm.
That's also when we found out that he had a lady friend, too. Just decided that life was too short to be lonely anymore (Grandma passed at least 10 years before).
Anyway, if you could please keep my Grandpa John in your thoughts & prayers and just send some positive energy his way (in Nebraska) I would sure appreciate it.
