Sad news from Wendy Kool

Hi ladies,

Up until about three weeks ago we were planning for our trip south and I was setting aside items to bring along for card class. Then life took a nasty turn and when I went for my medical
Appointment and regular blood work, results  indicated a problem  that was acted upon immediately.  ECG, ultrasound, CT scan, and finally biopsy to find out this week that I have pancreatic cancer that has spread and is inoperable.  Prognosis is not good and it is a fast multiplying variety.  There is a fairly new chemo treatment being used and studied in the Netherlands that is available at our cancer center but has many potential side effects and only slows things down to add another 5 months or so to survival. At this time there is no cure
So we have big decisions to make when we meet with oncologist next week.

So regretfully our days of travel are done.  I have so enjoyed my time with all the ladies and ask that you include me in your prayers

Hugs to all
Wendy
