Not me, my grandma.
I'm wondering, how did any of you with cancer patients in your family deal with it?
My problem is this. I'm not exactly a...family type/people person. I keep to myself, I have like...1 or 2 close friends, that's it, and I enjoy it that way. Very, very, very, very rarely do I get emotional about....well....anything.
I mean...I'm not the kind who hugs and cries with you or anything. It's just...awkward for me. And because of that, she thinks I don't care. I've been holding off on getting a job or moving out because there isn't anyone else here to help her out with anything. But she doesn't believe me, even when I tell her that.
At the beginning of november, my grandma had surgery on both her wrists, and was told she might need her knees replaced. At the beginning of december, she found a lump in one of her breasts, and it turned out to be cancer. End of december, it was successfully removed, and she is now going through chemo. She's losing her hair fast, and she still has to go through radiation.
Basically, for anyone that is anti-social like me and had to deal with something like this, how did you do it? 'Cause feeling awkward is something I do not like at all. Though I do help her out to the best of my abilities. I do all the household chores without a peep, take care of the dog, ect.
