My Grandmother had cancer the doc opened her up and closed her the cancer was to far gone to even remove it. They never expected her to leave the hoptial alive. My cousin was born in the same hospital NY Hospital/ Sloan kettering while my Grandma was there. Granny was taken to see her grandson, she kew it was the one and only time she would except................she didn't die, Granny was at my cousins wedding 28 years later and lived to see his 2 sons. What killed her at age 88 was heat stroke. NY was having a heat wave and even though she had air conditioning (she lived in the top floor of her building) the air conditioning was not enough the apartment got too hot and that is what took her life.
