Hi everyone,I just need to talk,maybe get some words of comfort. I just feel overwhelmed. I have two grandmas still with us,both my grandads are gone. In the last week,we've been told that one may have bowel cancer and one may have cancer on her face. She has a growth,and a cyst on her lymph nodes,so she needs to be operated on. I'm trying to think positive,as we don't know anything for definite yet,but this stage of not knowing,waiting,it's horrible. My grandma who may have bowel cancer is back at the hospital on Tuesday,then back again on the 9th October for the results. They've told her,they've found 'something nasty' that could be bowel cancer and that whatever it is she's had it for 6 months. I just can't take it all in,I'm trying not to,but I keep getting upset.

The worst thing is,my grandma just told me today about the lump on her face,my dad doesn't know,none in the family does,only me. I already suffer with depression and I'm not handling all this very well. I don't know what else to say,all this isn't about me,it's about both my grandmas and I need to be there to support them. I'm just struggling to take it all in.

Just to update from my last post,my grandma does have bowel cancer. But,the doctors are very positive about the outcome. She's awaiting an operation,possible chemo...but,hopefully everything crossed,she will be ok. Gonna be tough times ahead,but I actually feel better now I know what we are facing...

Thanks to those who offered support...
