I had a chance to speak with the stethoscope man about the condition of my Grandpa and he told me that the growth in his tummy can become cancerous if not taken out. So next week the frail aged man would have to go thru an operation to extract the undesirables. But because of his age and the fact that he has not been very healthy lately, the operation might lead to complications such as heart attacks, kidney failure, bladder problems, etc. This sucks, my Grandpa deserves better.
