I come home today from a....ok day at work and get some news that I've been dreading for years now. My dad gets a call today from my Grandmother, from south Florida that had lung cancer and has Emphasima...however you spell it, that they are going to be trying something new to help stop it from spreading. They are going to be shooting her with

I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

I don't think it's selfish at all to feel those things. It would be strange if you weren't affected by what is happening to the people you love. You love them and you don't want anything to hurt them--that is in no way selfish. It's part of what love is.

Thank so much! I just found out that what my Grandmother is doing isn't much worse than the treatment that she was already doing. (if that made any sense at all) Anyways, it's going to be the same treatment just in a little bigger dose. My uncle was worried that we would blame him if anything happened to her so he had her call my dad in the middle of work to tell him not the blame him if something did happen. Well, dad got to talk to my Grandmother later on without my uncle being in the room so he got the whole truth from her. It seems it's going to be the same treatment just in higher doses and the reason my uncle was worried about it was because it isn't FDA approved yet. They are still testing it so she will be under close watch and monitored all the time. The side effects include shortness in breath, pain, kidney, or liver failure. Now this is suppose to be helping the shortness in breath and pain so I don't understand how this is helping if it can cause it but oh well.... Thank you soooooo much for keeping me and my family in
