Well, my grandma is not doing well at all. She has said herself that she is tired of fighting off this cancer and its collateral damage (e.g., the fluid they just removed from her lung). My mom seems to be giving up as well. She says that all we've done is buy 3 more years for her since she was Stage 4 those 3 years ago. The chemo has somewhat worked so far, and, as far as I know, is still somewhat working. There is one more option we all know about now, and one I see us as being idiots if we don't try: the Gerson Therapy. Literally nothing more than a very specific diet of all organic foods and doing organic coffee enemas, it has literally cured the cancer of thousands since the 1930's, when Dr. Gerson used it on himself (living to 117), his family, his friends, and various other test subjects.

I know people are gonna be naysayers to this, as well as try to tell me that I should just "let her go" because "it's her time" - I have little respect for those who tell me that so boldly when not every option has been attempted. I understand that my grandma is sick of the pain she's had to face over her treatment, wanting nothing more than release from it, but unless we try every option, I say we're weak and too scared to try. In my logic, there are many things that cannot be changed; but if they can be, and you don't try with at least a little effort to change it, then you're just giving up too easily. call me selfish...arrogant...deluded...too idealistic...ignorant...think of me what you will, but I know where I stand.

'''Oh, and by the way, don't even bother to comment if all you're gonna tell me is that I should just "accept it", "let her go", and/or that "it's her time." I'm looking for compassion and someone with sympathy who will pray for her...and all of us.'''
