It does say a lot, PC. I'm sorry to hear this and I hope you beat it. Prayers for you.

Thanks very much for your prayers. I do appreciate it.

I'm happy to say that the worst of it appears to be behind me. I had surgery on June 10th and had my spleen, gall bladder and 2/3rds of my pancreas removed. Two weeks later I had complications (developed pneumonia, my pancreas and kidneys shut down, lost a lot of blood), and things were pretty bleak. But, thanks to the Good Lord's help and a lot of people's prayers, I managed to rebound and am now back to work and running at about 90% of my pre-surgery strength.

Right now the doctors are trying to determine if the cancer has spread to any other part of my neuroendocrine system (pituitary, parathyroid, thyroid, adrenals, and so on). In the meantime, every day is a gift and every hour I have with my family is a blessing.

So, all told, I feel like a pretty lucky guy. God willing, I will be among the 4% who survive this cancer.

God willing and my prayers are with you, too, P.C.

This is one thing that Socialist do not understand. When catastrophic medical situations arise. a persons 1st priority is family, friends, and the love and support they provide. It always broke my heart to care for terminally ill Patients, and some in their last moments had no one with them, except me and other staff.

Good health, good life, and you are in my prayers.
