Hero Loss of a Hero “Mandy, Grandpa is going to the hospital. He cannot stop shaking and has to have some tests taken,” my mom said when she called on Sunday January 26, 2003. It was really hard for my family to see the pain my grandpa was having and not knowing what was causing it and what was wrong. After hearing what had all gone wrong with my grandpa, our hearts were broken. On Wednesday, he had another MRI done and found out that he had a tumor on his back. They took him to radiology right away. That night, my mom and aunts were alone with him and said a prayer. “If Dad has to suffer, God please take him now because we do not want our dad to be in pain,” my family said with tears streaming down their faces. The next day, they found out it was prostate cancer from about five years ago, and the doctor said that it could be spreading throughout his whole body by now. They were going to try radiation to try to shrink his tumor on his spine hoping that it would hopefully make him walk again.
