Lindsay Lohan's Grandfather Battling Cancer

By Access HollywoodMarch 18, 2008, 5:35 pm PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- It's been a rough few months for Lindsay Lohan, who has faced battles with sobriety, with not getting work - and last weekend - with the presence of Paris Hilton paraphernalia at a party she was being photographed at.

But, her own struggles are now taking a back seat with the news that her grandfather is seriously ill.

Lindsay's paternal grandfather is said to be having a hard time in his battle with cancer, according to Lindsay's dad - Michael Lohan.

"He's had colon cancer for a while and has been on chemo treatments," Michael told E! News. "But now it looks like it's spread to his lungs. He's in really bad shape."

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Lindsay has been in the studio in both New York and Los Angeles, working on her third studio album. She also is expected to return to her acting work next month, after a lengthy absence, with the comedy "Ye Old Times," with Jack Black - but Lindsay will try to make it to her grandfather's beside Michael told E!.

Michael said he also called ex-wife and soon-to-be E! reality TV star, Dina Lohan, as his father wishes to see all of his grandchildren, including Lindsay's brother, Cody, and sister Ali.

"I'm hoping they can all come by to visit," Michael said. "I've been there with him every day. But I know he really wants to see his grandchildren."

    BOBBY S: Why are you cussing so much. Facts hurt -- don't they? LINDSAY probably doesn't even know her Grandfather's name. Or his age. She could CARE less about ANYONE. Including your thug rappin' nappy headed azz.

    I wouldn't feel SORRY for Lindsay for ANYTHING. She is a WORTHLESS crack whore and trashy girl. She don't care about anyone but HERSELF. Least of which her dying Grandfather.
