Grandma Update

So its Ovarian Cancer which falls under the "Do not read the information on the internet and if you do take it with a grain of salt" category. The stuff on line is pretty grim mainly because Ovarian cancer is not one that is usually caught early. It usually is caught after it metasticizes and starts to cause symptoms that prompt doctors to do scans. Her Gynelogical Oncologist and Oncologist have told us that this is treatable and that they can keep the Cancer under control for some time time, years in fact. And her chemo is fairly forgiving on the body. She won't experience any other side effects other than loosing her hair. I'm sure this is going to be upsetting but its worth dealing with to get back to living.
