Very sorry for your situation. I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer. It claimed her life very fast. Two months from time of diagnosis to the time she passed away. What you are describing sounds like...

This may sound harsh, but if I were you, I would find the "dough" to get on a plane,and go be with your father. Having an 80+ year old aunt taking care of him, while he is in the condition you...

So sorry Joyce. It is heartbreaking to see your parent go through this horrible decline, knowing it will not get better. This is the end stage of this horrible disease called pancreatic cancer. I was...

Dear Annie:

Thank you for your empathy. It has been 9 months now, and I still miss my Mom so badly, and my heart still breaks that she lost her life so fast, after they finally diagnosed her. If...

I am sorry for the loss of your mom. It is very painful to become a motherless daughter. I lost my Mom, nine months ago, and miss her each and every day. Our mothers always and forever live in our...

I am happy that my words brought you a measure of comfort. I have been where you are right now when I was faced with the sudden shock of realizing my Mom was terminally ill, and I did...

Ann,

I also prayed for a miracle when my Mom was dying of stage 4 pancreatic cancer last summer. Sadly, deep in my heart, I knew, we were not going to get one. If you are a person of faith, hold on to...

I still got a scan report dating back to 2008 which my Mom had. The scan clearly states that the pancreas is normal, and no significant abnormalities are detected. She did have an enlarged spleen...

So very sorry for your situation. It is bad enough to deal with the separation, and now, get a cancer diagnosis. You sound like such a strong lady, and a caring mother to your kids. Absolutely get...

I read your posts and I am sorry for what you and your husband are going through. I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer last August. She was diagnosed late, when it was stage 4, with mets everywhere,...

What amazes me is that I constantly read or hear about new cancer tests, new cancer treatments, new cancer cures. Awhile back, they were all buzzing about cutting off the blood supply to the cancer...

I feel the same about my Mom's things. I get comfort from her possessions being in our home. It does feel like a part of her is still with me. But, then, she is always with me, right inside my heart....

When my friend was diagnosed with cancer, I tried my best to be there. I listened to her for hours, I went with her to doctor appointments, I tried to provide her with hope. But, honestly, it was...

My Mom's oncologist told us that pancreatic cancer grows in the body for up to 20 years. It seemed crazy to me that it takes that long for it to develop, yet my Mom lost her life in two months once...

I think that everyone deals with grief in a different way. At the end of the day, we all know what is inside our hearts. It is not about how you outwardly grieve, it is about how you feel in your...

Starman, I am also sorry for the loss of your father and brother to this insidious cancer. All cancer sucks. But, pancreatic cancer has a staggering mortality rate. Just by participating in this...

Interesting topic. I think that it might be a little different when you are trying to get over the loss of a spouse, as oppose to the loss of a parent. I feel guilty at times. Then, I remind myself...

Feeling Hopeless, I am so sorry. I lost my Mom last August, and I miss her so very much. Cancer sucks.

I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer on 08/03/2012. She passed away 63 days post diagnosis. I miss her every single day. I think of her constantly, and I feel a lot of emptiness and sadness. It has...
