Blind cat brings comfort to cancer owner or visa/versa

The story from Reddit:

Donny is a blind cat who has been dutifully cared for by his grandma until she was diagnosed with lung cancer several months ago. After numerous tests it was determined that at 88 she was not a candidate for surgery. The doctors decided they were going to give her 5 radiation treatments and send her to hospice care. Donny visited with her and kept her company during her treatments and unbelievably, the radiation was working! Donny's grandma was given 12 more treatments and earlier this month, she was determined to be cancer free and sent home from the hospital. Goes to show the healing power of a blind cat's love.
