Give Them Support and Comfort


by: LD on Wed, Mar 12 2008

My wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer the 1st week of November 2007. The disease had already spread to other organs and the whipple operation was not an option at that time due to the agressiveness of the cancer and the areas for which it had spread. All we could do is give her comfort and watch as the cancer took her life. 21 February, 2008 she passed away only 3 months after she was diagnosed. It just took our families by surprise, because we were riding bicycles and hiking only 1 week prior to her getting sick. My prayers are with all of you and your families whom have been diagnosed with this killer. It is happening all too often now. My question is this, what are we not being told that is causing this epidemic and recent rises in cancer cases accross the country.

    My father was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It was discovered (very early) by the Grace of God as his physician was testing for other health issues but was keen enough to spot something suspicious in the pancreas tail(as opposed to the head which is more complicated). [more..]
