His friend said he had nothing to worry about, most likely it was just a fatty tumor. As days went on he grew more and more exhausted and was not acting himself. After deciding to look into another doctor he found out the news, terminal stage 4 lung cancer had filled his whole chest cavity.

Rick stepfather Ramon is deathly ill in chapter 30. Ramon asks if he could plan his own funeral that I found it pretty scary because in his mentality he already knows that his going to die so he is doing his lasts will. In the next chapter Ramon and I think it affected him a lot because he saw him as a dad. Ramon was a huge role model in Ricks life because when Rick dad suicide himself he didn’t have anyone to grow up with. Rick had his mom but it’s not the same as having a father because I think guys look up at their dads and girls look up to their moms because mom do more girly stuff and dads do more sports stuff so guys look up more at their dads than mom and when rick dad kill himself he didn’t have anyone to look up too. Then Ramon came

He survived the first surgery, but the nurses said that because of the steroids he was on for his other medical issues, his internal organs were deteriorating. They told us that he had a ruptured colon but it was hard to fix with the conditions the organ tissues were in. One week later, he was let out of the hospital. He spent one week at home trying to recover but then again he was taken back to the hospital. This was alarming; once again we traveled back into Sandusky. This time they had to totally remove his colon but they didn’t know with his conditions if he would even make it out alive. He remained unconscious for two weeks until they finally removed his breathing tube on October third. My dad was in the room when he eventually passed

Cancer affects almost everyone in their lifetime in some form or fashion. I will never forget the day I learned that my grandfather received his diagnosis of lung cancer. It still haunts me today hearing him utter the words “it’s not good”, when I asked him what did the doctor say? He didn’t even have to tell me that it was cancer, I knew from those words alone. His demeanor had changed as one can imagine, I’m sure thoughts where racing throughout his mind of what was to come. I can’t imagine the thoughts going through his mind to find out that he had around a year to live, according to the doctor. He had a look as if he was in a daze which was totally understandable.
In third grade, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. I was only eight years old. At that time, I did not fully understand what was wrong with him and why he was not progressing in getting better. No one would explain what was wrong and that it was serious. They just kept expressing that he
He had multiple brain tumors and they were cancerous, he had stage 4 neuroblastoma, that’s what i think he had they never told me what he had. The only thing my mom could cry through her tears where, “Pop Pop is sick.” I knew what she meant though. The only reason my mom was so shaken was because her mom was also battling a form of cancer. My house was so quiet for the next few days you could hear a pin drop. My dad was flustered because he was so disconnected from his family. He couldn’t come back till Christmas, and that's in three
Last year my grandfather, or Papa as we called him, died of cancer. He had barely fought off the cancer cells mercilessly invading his body. Barely getting through; my grandfather should've never even survived, for doctors told us his death was probable. His lungs contained a tremendous quantity of cancer. Everyone was relieved and pleasantly surprised when he made it through chemotherapy. A jack in the box is what he was; every time we thought we had lost him, he sprang back into our lives. Unfortunately, later that year Papa, who was still weak from chemotherapy, fell off a ladder and was hospitalized. While he was in the hospital the cancer came back, this time he had brain cancer. The doctors told us that there
Five years ago, Joe was a retired landscaper and a loving father and grandpa. Joe was a very active man only wanting the best for himself. Everyday he would wake up make himself a healthy breakfast, go on a walk and take his grandchildren to school. He never ever thought of anything in a negative way everything was always seen positively. Every time you would see him he would have the biggest smile on his face but one day Joe took a visit to the doctors and things weren’t looking so good. Joe had been diagnosed with stage five esophageal cancer that had spread to the lining and his colon, the doctor told him it was too late to save him. Joe spent the rest of his life in and out of the hospital. It was a rough time for his kids Laura and Gabe now because they both worked full time and had to change their schedules to get their kids to school and to make time to see their father in the
People often said that wherever my grandfather went he always made new friends or enemies. This explains his personality perfectly, he always made an everlasting impression, not afraid to voice his opinions. When I was around him he was always telling stories about his days of playing minor league baseball under the Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins organizations or his days of being a K9 trooper for the New Hampshire State Police. He was someone that I admired and loved being around. Some of the best memories are the ones where we are sitting around the table on Christmas Eve eating our lasagna and munching on some garlic bread. Everything changed when he became sick, but he was a fighter. My grandfather wasn’t going to let the lung cancer take
