Pancreatic Cancer Action Network

Sandi & Rose, thank you both for the kind and comforting words. I suppose had he chose to have the trial teatments he might have died even sooner. Only God knows. Thanks for reminding me to stop playing the "what if game". Sandi my prayers are with you and your husband during this difficult time. I agree we do have to respect their decisions, but ...

I think as the loved ones we want to feel that we are actively doing something or have control over something to help us make sense of things. Thanks again. Deidra

I understand the control over things, I felt helpless! You just want it to go away and it wouldn't. Good luck Sandy, remember to keep up on those doctors you are your husbands best advocate!! I kept my moms GP on board and it was the best thing I did. The oncologists are great but I feel her doctor helped her survive the 9 months. I wrote ...

Keep on board and stay strong and positive!!I will say a prayer for your husband Sandi! Deidra I wish you the best!!

I love this site it gives mw insigt and HOPE

November is National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month! Get on board. Shop purple! Go to the sites! Know it. Fight it. End it. Dammit.

Good luck Kevin, and never give up hope! I lost my father 2 months ago. He was given less than 6 months, but was determined to prove the doctors wrong. He battled it for more than 2 years, always hoping that there would be a break through. With more focus and research funding I believe there will be!

I know that my Daughter Shannon is so proud of what everyone is doing to help find a cure.

We'll fight until we do....

Tammy, that is a good idea but it is not always correct! My mom died of metasticizing pancreatic cancer jan 24, 2009. her levels never showed up high! even after two biopsies that showed it throughout her pancreas and liver.

This is a wonderful thing and I know that She is so proud of you. To continue on to help others.

Thanks Sara, I have added this to a few of my pics!!!! I love it!!!!
