Personal Narrative: Stage 3 Colon Cancer
My grandfather, who is now 82 years old, was diagnosed with colon cancer five years sago. He fought it, went into remission, but unfortunately, it has now come back. Today it is stage-3 colon cancer. He has gone through radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. My grandfather moved in with my mother and me because fighting cancer left him fragile. Today, I take care of him when I get home from school for about three hours. I have this responsibility because my mother does not get home from work until later in the night. My responsibility includes watching over him, cooking his meals, and cleaning after him.
