She was just diagnosed with cancer around her pancreas. We're not quite sure which type it is yet because they have to finish going over the imaging and biopsy. She will see her oncologist on the 20th and we will go over treatment options then. It's not advised for her to have surgery, so she'll have to try chemotherapy.

This has hit us like a freight train. We're still in a horrible housing situation and need to find a place to live ASAP, she can't work now and she was the only source of income, she still needs to be approved for Medicaid, etc. So life just seems to be getting worse for us. Please, please keep us in your prayers.

If anyone would like to give financially, no matter how small the amount, please use the details below. Every $5 or $10 counts. SF and his Mom have a wait until they can get financial assistance and in the meantime she needs medication for pain and nausea, and money for unexpected necessities.

SF doesn't like asking, so a bunch of us in chat decided to organise this request on his behalf. Thank you in advance.

I have debated back and forth whether to say anything or not.
I am still not sure whether I would serve you better by keeping my big mouth shut or saying something, but I have decided to offer unsolicited advice.

My wife is a Hospice RN with decades of experience.
The statistics for operable pancreatic cancer are very bad and the statistics for inoperable (usually metastasized) pancreatic cancer are much worse ... typically life expectancy is measured in months.
Since all of the results are not in, this is a premature doom and gloom scenario.
However, since it is a possible scenario, think long and hard about how you want to spend the time left if, God forbid, worse comes to worse. You may not have the time left to waste on denial. Hospice can help with many of those frustrating social service issues and educate you on all of your choices and options ... including aggressive treatment.

Because I do not want to end this on a down note, and because I know from first hand experience that nothing is either hopeless or impossible for God ... one lady was diagnosed with less than 6 months to live and was on Hospice for almost a decade ... People have had unexplained spontaneous remissions and been discharged from Hospice ... People have been scheduled for surgery, only to find the tumor has disappeared from the new MRI and they can't explain how or why.

I just want you to be prepared to make every day count.
Which is generally good advice anyway.

All of my prayers for you and your mother,
Arthur

I'm very aware of the cold hard facts about pancreatic cancer. I spent some time looking it up and I was deeply depressed and full of despair over it. So it's not helpful for me to dwell on those things. We don't really know what she has or what is going to happen. Better to just take it day by day. She's certainly not on her deathbed or ready for hospice care. The worst things at the moment are her pain, nausea and tiredness, but those can be helped with medication. (She's not on the right medications for it yet.)
