So, 3 rounds of throat cancer, lost her voice box, breast cancer, lung cancer and a double mastectomy all within 10 years and that 76 year old woman is still fighting the odds!

10 years ago, my grandmother was diagnosed with throat cancer. After the removal of her voice box, months of radiation and chemo, the cancer was gone. A few years after that, it was back. More radiation and chemo once again cleared all cancer. 5 years ago, she was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and wasn't supposed to make it past Christmas, but this tough stubborn woman has managed to live 5 years with that cancer and on top of that, getting the throat cancer for a 3rd time. About a month ago, she wasn't feeling well and ended up in the hospital where they discovered she may have lung cancer too. Results came back saying she does. Yesterday, she went in for a double mastectomy. I pray she is strong enough to make it through this. I'm not sure what the next step will be, if they can do radiation and chemo for the lung cancer in the near future, but I would appreciate prayers for her.

Yep! Remember 5 years ago when they said she only had 6 months to live and that it would be her last Christmas? That was 5 years ago!!! She could use some more prayers if you guys don't mind. Thanks!
