My dear friends and family….. Here I am again….and I am feeling pretty good. Between my last post and this current one…I have been in 2 hospitals, had a “bleeder” in my stomach (a mammory artery that had to be fixed,’) and a hospital room quarantine because of the virus, an ambulance ride to Tampa,…
Friends, we didn’t get home yesterday (Monday) until 9 p.m. from Moffitt Cancer Center. But we did come with good news. According to my doctors, not every Pancreatic Cancer patient is a candidate for Whipple Surgery. The Captain and I were praising God when we learned that I am a “good candidate” and the scheduled…
My sweet and wonderful friends and family….I apologize for the long period of time since I last updated you. I have so much to say and I can tell you that the “month” of recuperation from the Chemo treatments has been wonderful for the most part. There were ups and downs and there continues…
Monday we go to Tampa where I start 5 days of radiation. The Captain and I both agree that the decision to not go through with the last chemo treatment better prepares me for the upcoming radiation treatments. I feel stronger and the chemo is almost out of my body so not feeling many of…
Hello sweet friends. I know I am past an update for you, but I wanted to wait until I made another trip to the Moffitt Cancer Center to “assess” where we stand. Praise God…..He has answered prayer, To God be the Glory, great things He has done… thanks to your many prayers going to Him…

Cost and re-habing…
Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! Dear ones…thank you so much for all your well wishes and prayers and cards and letters. What a wonderful support group and you will never know just how much you all mean to me….and how much you have lifted my spirits. I have so much to be thankful for this Holiday…
This is going to be quick my dear sweet readers…but I just have to take the time to tell you how well I am doing these days. After that harrowing time of blood clots and such in the hospital…I am doing very well. There are 3 different nurses and social workers checking on me weekly…
Hello dear sweet friends…. I have to tell you that I feel really good today! In fact, since the doctor’s have modified my chemo into a ‘not as strong dosage’…I am almost feeling normal, or as normal as one could feel with just a little “sickness”. The most important part is, I am beginning to…
Good morning sweet friends. What a beautiful day it is ….and since I do the “chemo thing” on Wednesday,…. the preceding Monday and Tuesday are usually pretty good days as the chemo is “wearing down”….and then we start all over again. I was sitting on my lanai this morning literally counting my blessings. I have…
