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
