I have come on here to have a good SCREAM !!!

I was supposed to go shopping today with my hubby for my birthday presents, but when we awoke my 8 year old daughter started vomiting and got a high tempature , so we didnt go.
Shes been so Ill all day that I only just opened my presents and cards at 5pm today.
Now shes sitting up and alot brighter so I decided I will enjoy the telly tonight and eat my box of milk tray, then my mother phones me up to say shes back safe from spain today BUT
My grandads just been told today hes got prostate cancer and its advanced........well I just was frozen with shock,
then I said to my mum oh thats a nice birthday present.

I know it sounds mad , Its just my grandad is 80 years old but looks 60 years old, I know hes got to die sometime but the thought of him at home all upset, is so upseting.

He sent me alot of money in my birthday card which I thought was strange, now I know why.
Ive got to phone him tonight to say thanks for the card and money but just dont know what else I can say? my mum said its best just not to mention it ,but that makes me feel worse.
I just want to sit and cry.

Claire im sorry the box of chocs are nearly gone (i do comfort eat).

I phoned my grandad up and was surprised he told me hes got cancer, I was really strong and had a good chat about it all, my heart aches for him, hes such a nice grandad...
all my other granparents are gone.

I think I may of talked too much, nerves :(

Hes got a emergancy appointment to see the specialist on Thursday,
he said they dont think much can be done for him......
and he said hes not in pain which is good.
I am talking too much again, sorry my mind is racing .

Thanks for the kind hugs, I know you all have your own problems.
