Worst diagnosis anyone could imagine. My wife has pancreatic cancer. I wallowed in pity for about 12 hours, was angry for about 4, then kicked into action. I started calling around to contact someone who I knew was a 3 year survivor, made a second opinion appointment, and started a Yahoo Group called Pam's Army to help coordinate support and keep everyone as updated as possible.

I ask everyone to take the time they need to come to grips with it, then we will talk about the support, prayers and positive thinking.


We will not go down without a fight.

I feel for you and your family. My wife had the same kind of cancer tht Farrah Fawcett died from. She was diagnosed with it almot 4 years ago. We went through some pretty rough times, but thru prayer and friends and family and a whole lot of faith, she made it through. Beliving that she'll get better helps in ways you would'nt belive. Keeping her attitude positive is also a big thing. She has to feel that she'll survive this and she will! Prayer helps tremendously!!!!!!!! Cindy is still on prayer lists all over the country. You'll find that there are support groups that will spread the word and we got letters and cards from people we did'nt even know. She still gets a card a couple times a yuear from a lady in New England. Take a deep breath or two and show her how confiant you are that she'll bet this. Please PM her name and yours too for that atter and I'll have her added to our church prayer list. Believe me it works! Never underestimate the power of God!

Donnie, you just knocked the wind out of me.
I can only imagine the road that you're on, and there's really not a lot of good that words can do right now, so I'm taking it to God.

Remember, I'm fairly close-by and can be there for your wife at all odd hours during the week for going to Dr.s and running errands while you're at work. I've got/will make time for you both if you need it. Check your PMs.

My sis-in-law was digonised with the same cancer just a few months back. 3 different docs looked @ her PET scans...all were 99.99999% positive it was cancer and she had wipple procedure (removal of part of the stomach, & part of the pancreus)...after the surgury and later biopisies, it was not cancer....just a bad cyst. My sis-in-law swears it was a miracle!!!!
