Supporting a grandchild through a brain cancer diagnosis requires immense strength, and connecting with other families who understand this journey can provide valuable emotional support and practical guidance. Many grandparents find it helpful to learn about the treatment process, communicate openly with the medical team, and focus on creating meaningful moments together while maintaining hope and normalcy when possible.
