Thanks for the idea Marion – I sent him a quick e-mail. I hope they are doing okay… I just can’t get him and his children out of my head.

Rick, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers – I am so sorry for what you are all going through right now. I hope you can feel the love of us all surround you, your beautiful wife, and your children…
Jen
Thinking of you always Lainy – special prayer for the two of you at bedtime tonight! Hang in there, and maybe shove a stopper in that revolving door for a few days so you can enjoy each other and ONLY each other….
Jen
Good luck Rick – I hope the appointment brings nothing but the best news. You and your family are in my prayers tonight!
Jen
I’m sorry for the tough few days you have had. Please know I am thinking and praying for you, hope the appointment tomorrow goes as well as possible and the best decision for your Dad is made… please keep us updated.

Hi Dawn,
Like others, I want to welcome you to the site – it’s a great place with wonderful people to support you. My Dad was also originally diagnosed with pancreatic cancer before the doctors realized it was actually the bile duct. Dad can’t have morphine and takes both oxycontin and oxycodone for pain, and for the most part is usually manageable. He does get some break-through pain but is able to take another dose when this happens.I will have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers tonight – I am sorry for what you are going through and understand entirely how difficult it is to see someone you love in pain…. I hope she finds something to help manage it a bit better soon.

I have no input, except to say that it’s wonderful that you are going into this with such a fighting spirit. Don’t give up on that. My Dad has inoperable CC (diagnosed in January), and we don’t know how much time he has left so are enjoying every second of every day we have with him. I understand your pain and the feeling of it destroying you – my heart broke when Dad was diagnosed and we realized how little could be done. However, like others have said, cases are SO different, and your Dad could VERY well have much more time then the year they are saying. I truly believe that nobody can possibly give a time frame with this cancer, and think it’s ridiculous they did with your Dad. Good luck with whatever course your family chooses to take. Know that I, and many others, are thinking of you all.

I will be thinking and praying for her today – I hope the surgery goes perfectly. Please keep us updated on her progress!!!
I’m so sorry for how you are feeling Sarah. I am terrified of the day Dad is gone and I am forced to face life without him. I have heard from and learned from so many on this site that as hard as it may be, it’s okay to mourn our loved ones, but we must continue living as they would want us to live. Your Mom is with you always – parents never, NEVER leave their children, and I imagine she would hate to know that you are unhappy. Feel sad when you need to feel sad, and cry when you need to cry, but then remember all the memories, all the good times, and think about how much she’d rather watch you smile.
I am thinking of you and praying for you tonight Sarah, and hope you start feeling better soon.

Thinking and praying for you both tonight Lainy… I hope the morphine works well for Teddy and the valium is not needed. Lots of love coming your way from all over the world, I hope you can feel it surround you both.
Jen
Lainy,
The positive attitude you and Teddy show have helped me so much during the last 6 months. Dad is much the same, saying he knows where he will be going and is at peace with what is to come, but I truly hated that he seemed so okay with what he was going through until I read all your posts and realized how much that positive attitude helps him and everyone around him.
Thank you both so much for the help you give so many…. I’m not sure either of you realize how much you do for other people battling this cancer.
You are both in my thoughts and prayers today and every day.
Jen
Wow, what a time you’ve had! So glad he’s home and resting, and hoping only for the best. Not sure why, but I had tears in my eyes reading your post – I can only imagine the emotions that you both must have gone through – you will both be in my thoughts and prayers tonight….
Jen
