A cousin's husband is dealing with pancreatic cancer now. She has plenty to deal with already from a physical standpoint and this is not what she needed. He was diagnosed about 8 weeks ago.

Sorry for your loss. Thank you sir. Mom was stage 4 when they found it. Did an emergency surgery on her small intestine so she can eat again. Mom didn’t do chemotherapy as she wanted quality of life over quantity. They told her she’ll have 2 good months after the surgery and no more than 6 months all together. We have family and friends flying in on this Friday. We were to do a thanksgiving dinner, now it will be something different. Not sure how those months turned into weeks, but they did. The last 3 days I just kept on dosing her up on liquid morphine hoping she’s not in pain and end it for her. It goes fast and hard. Spend as much quality time as you can Together

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Lung cancer took my father in 2013. Hard way to go.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

Dre, it’s a tuff road for all. Maybe worse for the family and friends than the departed. It’s a road I’ve traveled both ways, many times... there are no words that soften the blow. Try to keep your chin up.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. My mother died in 1981, complications of cancer. I still miss her.
Best wishes for you and your family.

Dre - I am sorry. You did so well by your Mom and I hope you are able to find some consolation day by day. A beloved younger family member here is fighting a tough battle against colon cancer and our family understands what you are feeling.

Dre, Sorry for your loss. It's not good.
In 1985 my mom passed from cancer, she was fifty years young. It also got all of her siblings 8 total.
This week marks a year of my brother in law passing. Cancer got him too.
Too many people gone to soon.

Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad in ‘95 to pancreatic cancer. He lasted 6 months. Lost about 100# in that time. Your mom was lucky to be able to spend the time with you and not just suffer needlessly while it ate her. Keep your head up and look back fondly on the memories before she was ill.

Sad indeed. Prayers for your family. I suspect cancer has touched every one on the fire.

Sorry for your loss.
A couple months ago I got up to take a leak. Upon peeing I peed pure blood. I called the ER as covid was getting momentum. They said I need to come in which I did.
Several test and CT they said they could not find anything and sent me home.
A couple hours later a doctor called me and said they made a mistake. I had cancer in my left kidney.
I went to a urologist later in the morning. He told me the kidney needed removed immediately.
Six weeks later I had my kidney removed. Now I’m down to one kidney and it’s not working at 100%. They said it was working well enough for now.
It’s amazing how fast your health can flip.

Prayers from Colorado to the OP, and all of you that have had to deal with this scourge.
Same boat here, plenty of impact over the years. Grandfather and grandmother lost, sister a recent survivor... Other friends and family.

Sorry for your loss Dre. Right now I have a few friends that are dealing with it. It's evil as far as I'm concerned. Prayers from Idaho.

Sorry for your loss. I call it “the beast”. I’ve dealt with it personally for the last couple of years and it’s tough to hear your name or a loved one’s name associated with the beast.
