Cancer Sucks

My grandpa was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in February of last year. He's had his challenges but has been doing better than they expected, he was only suppose to live 6 months.

In July, things started to really go downhill though. He had fluid on his lungs so they had to go in and drain the fluid off. While they were doing that they ended up puncturing his lung and caused it to collapse. He was in the hospital for 10 days and they were finally able to get it to inflate and he was feeling some better. A few days after he got out he started to feel bad again and has just kept getting worse. He found out last Friday that they're not going to be able to do anymore for him and they're just going to treat him for the pain from here on out. Today he found out that it's spread to his bones and he has blood clots in his lungs. He was admitted to the hospital today and they're going to try and dissolve the clots through IV medicine.

My grandpa is the best person I've ever known, he is an amazing Christian and has kept his faith strong through all of this. He hasn't told me but he's told my grandma that's he's so scared and just wants to live so bad. It kills me seeing him in so much pain and I just want him to get better so bad, I just want a miracle to happen. I'm selfish for not wanting him to go, I know that he's going to go to heaven but I'm just not ready for him to go even though I know he would be so much better off and not in pain anymore. It's just not fair that he's been such a good person his whole life and this is what happens. I don't understand why it happens and God is the only one that knows the reason why. I do know that Cancer sucks and I'm doing what I can to help get money to find a cure for it. All prayers for my grandpa and my family would be really appreciated.

This would be my grandpa, mom and miss Alyssa <3
