I started getting I started getting sick in 2016 that was when my daughter was diagnosed so since she was pregnant they couldn't do chemo until my grand daughter was born 9months later...my daughters colorectal cancer (which is very fast moving) progressed to the point to where it almost killed her...she is in remission but an emotional mess...

I apologise if you've previously explained that and I missed that or forgot. Getting colorectal cancer is awful news at any time but especially so for women who are pregnant when treatment needs to be delayed as was the case for your daughter. I can understand why she is struggling after such a traumatic time and I hope she is getting all the care she needs. It can't be easy coping with a new baby on top of everything. I hope your little granddaughter is well and bringing some joy back into your lives.

Your daughter was very brave during her pregnancy. And likely do during her treatment for her cancer. That bravery can take a toll. Being brave doesn’t mean one is not afraid; it just means continuing to move forward despite the fear.

That must have been a harrowing time for you as well. I am glad you are able to share with us.

I’m very glad that your daughter was able to give you a beautiful granddaughter although it had to be a harrowing time for all of your family. My family has had some very tough times in the last few years and supporting one another is the best we can do. Praying for the best outcome for your family.
