My Grandfather was diagnosed with Rectal Cancer a little over a year ago. He had symptoms for quite some time but wouldn’t go to the doctor. I just came from visiting him and the nurse that visits him every morning at home told my family today that he only has days left. I watched tonight as my grandfather lay on a hospital bed in his living room….he would open his eyes but it looked as though nothing was there…and when he would breathe you could hear the liquid gurgling. I hate to see this but he has a wonderful family around him to take care of him and show him all the love in the world. I just wish he would’ve gone to the doctor when he first started having symptoms…so that’s my advice to anyone. Don’t be foolish and risk your life because you don’t like doctors or you think it’s nothing. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone and I hope this encourages someone out there who’s hesitant on going to the doctor to get there quick!!
