Can you get any help from the VA ?
Not for this. She “should be able to get back to work right after chemo is done. That will be April 1st or so. We have long term disability which will provide for the home expenses. I haven’t been able to work due to family illnesses before this...and this has consumed my time since.
If we can get through the end of April, it won’t hurt us too much. Its the “next” shoe to drop after that which will put us down for the count financially—until we are a couple years older.
(I think I will vote for Bernie...he will take care of it all! ha ha. —I am kidding.—)
I will keep you both in my prayers.
Thanks. She needs all the prayers we can get her.
Sorry to hear this. But the guy is well past his “use by” date.
Of course, some younger wokester will try to claim his mantle.

Yep- not even the super-wealthy. Steve Jobs of Apple fame was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. They supposedly caught it fairly early - and it was one of the less-aggressive forms. He even received a liver transplant as part of his “treatment” (many questioned how he got moved up the list with active pancreatic cancer). It bought him a little time - but there is no cure.
Clinton Approves Technology Transfer to China
By John M. Broder
May 11, 1999
New York Times
The Clinton Administration notified Congress today that it had approved the export of technology to China to permit the launching of a communications satellite aboard a Chinese rocket next month.
President Clinton said in a letter to Congress that the transfer would not harm national security or significantly improve China’s military capability in space. The President was required under a 1998 law to certify that all such technology exports are in the national interest.
The certification was the first such notice to Congress under the law, which was passed in the aftermath of a Congressional uproar last year over the transfer of sensitive missile technology to China.
Mr. Clinton’s notification also follows by less than a week the release of a report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which concluded that lax monitoring of the launching of American-made satellites aboard Chinese rockets had enhanced the accuracy of China’s ballistic missile arsenal.
And the action comes three days after the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade was inadvertently bombed in a NATO raid, touching off angry street protests in Beijing.
The President’s action will affect the June 7 launching of a Motorola Iridium satellite, which is to fly into low orbit to provide paging and cellular telephone service. Mr. Clinton said that he had approved the export of satellite fuel and explosive bolts, which eject the satellite from its launch vehicle.
Today’s action was the final approval needed for the launch, which was first authorized in July 1993. A license for the export of the satellite itself was granted in November.
‘’The timing of this certification is not connected in any way to the tragic accident of the bombing of the Chinese Embassy,’’ said David Leavy, a spokesman for the National Security Council. ‘’Approval was recommended by the Departments of Commerce, State and Defense and is consistent with our policy of supporting the launch of U.S. communications satellites by China subject to strong safeguards being in place.’’
A staff member of the intelligence panel said it was unlikely to contest the approval of the technology. But he said questions might be raised over whether the explosive bolts might someday be used to help eject nuclear warheads from a missile.
Serously? What does your rant have to do with this thread? I brought Steve Jobs up, not as a way of supporting or glorifying him - but as a vivid reminder that fame and wealth don’t make a darned bit of difference when Pancreatic Cancer strikes.
Your rant is that of an immature and brittle personality with nothing better to do than pitch a fit at the slightest (even unintentional) provocation. Cool your jets.
We pray for our enemies FRiend.
You were right in doing so.
