    I am so sorry for the news. There are wonderful treatments and progress in that disease, but pancreatic is the worst to hear about.

    Very sorry to hear that. Someone close to us has pancreatic cancer and is failing fast fast. I lost my brother last year. He lived a long ways away also. I don't expect that to help you feel better, but know others know what you are being confronted with. Prayers to you and your family. I pray for comfort for your sister.

    I spoke with my youngest sister a few minutes ago and she was in the hospital with our other sister. The word she got was 3-6 months. We have a lot of questions yet so time will tell. Thanks for all of the well wishes and prayers. They are greatly appreciated.:handshake:

    Erik B , I too am sorry for this news. I will certainly offer prayers as well. May the Peace & grace of the Lord sustain you & yours through this. It is a reassurance that she knows the Savior for sure, but difficult non the less.

    This past Tuesday my sister was moved from the hospital to a nursing home into hospice care. She passed away today around quarter to six this evening. Considering what she had, it was God's mercy that took her before she suffered more.
    I will miss talking with her but I know she is in Heaven with the Lord and is now reunited with Dad.
    Thanks to all who have kept her and myself and family in your prayers.:handshake:

    I would say I’m sorry BUT I have seen the place where a release is a blessing. Glad to know she no longer has to suffer.

    Erik B , you doing alright with this? This news is very sudden and I'm sure not what you anticipated.
    I lost my Mother 2 years ago (June 27) to that , but I had time to accept it over the 4+ years she fought. I would have had a really tough time if my Mother had passed as quickly as your sister did. I'd be good if you need to vent, even PM me. The hurt takes a while to dull, never really goes away.
    I will say it is a blessing she didn't decide to linger. She got a call and was ready to answer, I'm actually happy for her. She's good now.
    We remain to grieve our loss, but once we get around that, if you believe, we get to celebrate this situation. It just sucks for quite a while until we get that clarity.
