My fiancés Grandad has had such a bad time recently, and we are all so scared now. He had cancer of the bladder last year and went through many treatments before having to make the decision to have his bladder removed and a catheter fitted. We thought this was it and he would be fine now, but we were wrong.
Then the cancer returned in his liver and he had lumps on his chest which turned out to be cancerous too. He's had tonnes of radiotherapy, chemo, blood transfusions etc. Despite being 86 before the cancer he was the fittest man I know and we are devasted at how fast this evil disease has got him.
He has an appointment at hospital earlier this week and we found out there is nothing more they can do and MIL broke it to us that it is a 'downwards spiral' from here. We are truly devastated by it. We went to see him yesterday and the man who previously jumped up two stairs at a time and took his dog on regular TEN mile walks can't even open a yogurt lid himself anymore :'(
We are so sad, we wanted to give him great grandchildren and it doesn't look like that will happen now. I just don't know what to do. We feel so powerless. His first wife died of cancer. His second wife died of cancer. And now it's got him too. I know it's a long shot but can I get some vibes please. We are praying that he's here for a bit longer.
UPDATE
So sadly he passed away this afternoon at 4pm :'( despite being aware the time was coming we are all in complete shock and I just wanted to update you all so you know why I'm not around. He had OH's uncle (his son) with him at the time so we are in comfort that he wasn't alone. I just can't believe it.
