Wow, I'm really sorry to hear about your Grandma. I hope she beats the fuck out of the cancer. A lot of it depends on what kind of cancer a person has and how early they find it. My mom passed away a couple of years ago from pancreatic cancer. She was 76 and was gone a month and 1/2 after they found it. My dad has prostate cancer, they found it about a year ago. However, it has since reversed and gotten smaller, so he's doing very well with it. So, no it's not an automatic death sentance. Just spend quality time with her when you can, and try not to worry (easier said than done I know). Take care of yourself too.
