Wendy, sounds desperate. Your poor grandmother. Yes, IF she had had the drugs available to her, she would have been able to take advantage of them. There wasn't much apart from asprin available when I was young either. And the old knowledge of herbals and suppleents had been largely brushed under the carpet - to re-emerge later. And of course the Ayervedic medicine was completely ignored - now no longer the case.

Your grandmother must have been one strong lady to have suffered through all that she did suffer.

My paternal grandfather died of cancer of the colon in his 60s; my maternal grandfather died in his early 50s, but not sure of what - except that he did have pernicious anaemai, so 'could' have been autoimmune related! Two cousins died relatively young, one in her mid 50s, MS and her sister in her early 70s,?AS. The sisters were both wheelchair bound in the end, and Antoinette with completely collapsed cervicals and hopelessly compromised feet with vascular problems, and in massive pain - but I don't have details, and all that side of the family are dead... (Antoinette was a doctor, and a nun, a missionary.)

Strange how life pans out.

Take care my hon (((HGS)))
