Prayers For Grandma
Kelly's Grandmother on her mom's side, Bernice Slygh, just found out this week that she has cancer. The doctors noticed all kinds of lumps and objects and have determined that she has colon cancer, stage IV. The cancer has also spread to her liver. She is going to see the gastrology doctor today and needs a colonoscopy very soon to determine exactly what course of action to take. Once they have those results they will know exactly how much of her colon and liver have been affected. Those results will help the doctors to decide whether to remove some/all of the colon or simply to do chemotherapy. Stage IV colon cancer is also called "Dukes D Colon Cancer" and the 5-year survival rate for Dukes D Colon Cancer is about 8%.
Kelly's grandmother appears to be blowing things off and is not interested in understanding the severity of her situation. Nevertheless, Kelly's family would appreciate any prayers for the well-being and even a miraculous healing of her grandmother.
