My gandfather has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. The docters say he has a month to five years to live. damn...well I'll miss him (unlike my other gandfather who died from leukemia when I was a year; I couldn't say goodbye)

sorry man
a month to 5 years, thats shitty western medicine for you
to be diagnosed with something like that sucks man, how old is he?
Well buddy that's fucking shitty to hear. Everyone's gotta go sometime though. =/
he's 85. due to US standards he's living ten years longer than the avgerage person. The reason why they (the doctres) gave us arbitrary times is because you really don't know when it's cancer. When they were pumping fluid out of his stomach, they thew out stomach cancer because when they did a patient ealier in the year (who doesn't have stomach cancer) had almost three times the fluid pumped.Originally Posted by Exclamatio
Yeah and I'm sort of happy he's going (pain is the last thing I see him thourhg while living). We all need to move on, you can't live on Earth forever :)

when you were 1 years old?
you probably coudn't have said hello either :P
aye sux to hear that man, just spend more time with him so when he finally goes you will have fond memories to look back on :)
genuinley sorry about it man, hope he has a good few months.
85 is a great age in pretty much all places ^_^
my grandfather passed away in his 80s too, he served his country in the war and had many children, death shouldnt be looked upon as a bad thing, especially at such a good age
I see this as a lucky thing because you actually have some prediction so you can make sure his last few moments were done great and was prepared for. Some people don't get a chance to know when someone will pass away and don't get to do this.
Never look at his death as a negative way but a thankful way and celebrate it, be happy. This will be the perfect oppertunity to say those things you love to tell him.
Btw, has he planned anything? Some people have some last requests when they have been told how long they may live, I was wondering if he did?
That sucks, my nan is judged to die in the next 2 years since all she does it sit down an waste away, good ridance says me and my dad, even if she is my dad's mum
not to sure, actually, but I'll just be damn happy to see him
The hospital called and said he stopped eating and is pretty much going to die pretty soon, so we (family) are going to St. Louis again. Hey nopeace you want me to take a pic of the arc I'll be glad to :p.
[edit] Cheat if you read this, then yes I'm missing a football game and competition. Is it really such a good idea to leave when you're ranked #2 as the best player in band? :O oh gnoes ....

i'm sorry man. i hope he can live his life out well and that you and your family can recover from this.
thanks :) one of my friends told me, "make the most of it" so I'm going to.
aye totally, go see him while u can, talk as much as u can :)
Thats horrible man, atleast you can spend extra time with him. I wish you luck with everything.
My grandfather died of leukemia when I was only 4. My dad said he regrets me never getting to know him that well. I feel ya pain bro. Stay strong.
Im sorry to hear man, tbh be grateful that u know when he is dieing and u can say all the things u wanted to say to him..
And follow your friends advice "Make the most of it".
I'm really happy to be back home. As it turns out my gandpa's not doing fine at all and he's getting worse since they moved him from the hospital to the nursing home. hes got secondary cancer all in his abdominal area and he's getting fluid build-up into his stomach (so he refuses to eat anything). We may even go back up to st. louis again. I just wish god would take him now this is so stupid, he says he ready and he's just waiting.
on a lighter note I got two pics of the arch for ya nopeace :p
If i were you ....i might have said that too..
Sorry man, i lost my grandfather when i was 10. He was too young :( I have only good memory about him.
I know how you are feeling. My grandpa has alzheimer, he doesn't even know who I am anymore
