Other Care
I belive my grandmother was not treated with the care that she deserved. She complained of pain in the site of the cancer and until now it was never found or even looked for and now that they found it she only has 3 to 6 months left. Her mom and dad both died from different type's of cancer and she was never even checked out until now.
