You ever have a couple of days that were so polar opposite it break your neck. Yesterday I was in a great mood. Everything seemed to be going so well. Then later that evening...I got the news that my maternal Grandfather has bladder cancer. The only way to treat this kind is with radiation and, since the radiation that killed his prostate cancer many years back also scared his bladder, that's not a viable option. The silver lining is that it's not spreading and it's a slow grower. There's a chance that it might just...go away on its own. There have been stories of such things happening. Still...cancer is cancer and it's hit me pretty hard. We could be looking at as little as three months or as long as one year or so. I don't put too much into those prognoses. I don't beleive in placing expiration dates on folks. That seems to me it would just cause some to go on and give up. He won't....he's a fighter. I'm not trying to garner a bunch of sympathy posts and such with this. It just helps me to write this down. However prayers and well-wishes are accepted and well-appreciated. I'm still very down right now but my mood should improve by the end of the working day. It won't help that there'll be rain moving in today. Take care everyone.
