Bad Day

Grandma White was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. She will be starting chemo next week, 3 days on then 11 days off, for 4 months. The cancer has spread to her lungs and right now she is having a bone scan to see if it has spread there as well. Not a fun thing for anyone to have to go through, especially your grandma. Seems a bit like deja vu, since it was about 1 1/2 years ago that dad was diagnosed with colon cancer as well. Could it be genetic? The bit of research I did today looks like it's certainly possible that there is a genetic mutation... we will definitely need to look into that, as grandma has many descendants. Grandma, you are certainly in our thoughts & prayers.
