Thanks to those of you that left me comments about my grand father and his cancer. I haven’t talked to my dad recently so I’m not sure when his surgery is or if it has already been done and quite frankly, it isn’t something that my dad or step-mom or even grandmother would think to call and inform me about so I’ll find out whenever I get around to calling. Part of me is putting it off because I don’t want to hear any bad news and like I said in the previous post about his cancer, even though we haven’t been close for years no one wants to think about a family member possibly dying. The other part of me just doesn’t want to call out of sheer stubbornness and because of the relationship I have with my dad and step-mom. I guess I feel like they should call and inform me instead of me always keeping tabs on everything. But what should I really expect, after all my grandmother kept the fact that they found out he had cancer in December from me because she didn’t want to worry me with it. Thanks!

Anyways, I’ve been reading a lot lately about cancer and stuff because I like to know what goes on and what happens etc. and even though some of these things have been assignments, I really found the information about mesothelioma interesting because it is a cancer that is caused by asbestos. My other grandfather (my mom’s dad, the side I’m very close too) has asbestos and has to go in for yearly checkups of his lungs and go through stress testing for his breathing. He keeps an inhaler on his dresser and is always out of breathe only after going up a flight of stairs. He’s already dealt with skin cancer on his nose, not the deadly kind, which was removed (happened a few years ago) so it makes me wonder if his asbestos will transform into something more serious. It also makes me worry about myself because my great grandfather died of cancer in 1997, I believe…cancer has a thing for my family.

Ugh…enough talk about this, it is depressing! I’m going to be working on a few assignments so just ignored the next couple of posts if you want too. I’m trying to get them out of the way and trying to save up for a new computer.
