in Emotional Support #1

Wasnt sure which was the right catagory for this. I am an emotional mess as i am a very emotional person anyways who doesnt handle things well. For that reason i wont get into detail unless needed. I just had a question/opinion. I have never had a close family member have cancer so theres a lot i dont know. Well to get to my point...my grandfather was told he had about 6 months to live then literally 2 days later he got extremely sick..and in so much pain we had to take him to hospice. He hasnt eaten in like a week and is constipated and throwing up. Just wondering why hes going downhill so fast when the drs said he had 6 months. Thanks

    Things happen out of order

    Your grandfather's illness sounds like an intestinal blockage but only his doctors will know that for sure.  May not even be related to his cancer.

    Human bodies don't like to be out of balance.  One thing wrong can throw another part of the body off.

    Saying a prayer for you and your grandfather.
