Grandmother Has Cancer...What To Do?

Subject: Grandmother Has Cancer...what to Do?
Date: 09/11/2006
Hi, my name's Nick- I'm 15. We found out today that my grandmother probably has cancer. Nothing's concrete until she sees her doctor, but thats what the test results at our local hospital showed :(. She went a few days ago because she thought she was having a heart attack, but its worse; its this. I don't know that much about it or cancer itself, other than its in her lungs and liver. She apparently seems to have a 3cm and a 7cm tumor in her liver. She has lost her appetite in the last few months and has lost 50 or 80 pounds, or some ridiculous number like that. She looks so weak, but has a strong will to live. My question is, what should I expect for the future? I'm so close to my grandmother and it's torture for the whole family to hear this. Is there a possibility the tumors are benign? Is 7cm a big tumor? Also, she's 83, turning 84 on Sunday, and is allergic to a lot of medicines, and is very delicate. Therefore, some treatments she probably can't do. Mentally, she's as sharp as a tac though. I don't know anything about this, and was just looking for some help, knowledge, or advice. Thx :)
