    Dear Lizzy
    So very sorry to hear about this latest diagnosis.

    I pray that regardless of what you determine about treatment options, you will have pain free days of sunshine and strength.

    Throw out the calendar. Don't count the days that are left...count every day that you have with your family and friends.

    Much love to you,

    Marie who loves kitties

    God bless you
    Praying for the right decisions for you and your family. These are things that we each have to decide for ourselves because we are the only ones that can walk this path. Follow the path that gives you peace, Lizzy.

    Awful
    This is just awful news. I'd been hoping for something better. So this is a secondary cancer? Like others have said, would you please get a second opinion just to have a choice. I'm so sad to hear of this but can understand you not wanting to do chemo and being sick the entire time. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

    Hugs! Kim

    so sorry lizzy
    dear lizy,

    this is the hardest news to hear.

    we should be thanking you for all the support you have given us.

    maybe some meditation might help clear the fog.

    we all have the circle of life, i guess its just how big the circles are for each of us!

    I hope your circle is filled with love and peace each and every day!

    hugs,

    pete

    PS I notice your lovelly little white dog, the other day i was meditating on the beach and patting my dogs at the same time. i got a real lift out of it!

    Feel so sorry Lizy, will be praying for better news after some
    chemo rounds !
    God bless you!

    You are in my thoughts, daily. I don't know what I would, except perhaps try a completely different treatment. Prayers going out for you.

    Lizzy, my prayers and good vibes are still coming your way. Never give up hope. God works in mysterious ways. This might be a wake-up call to try something else.

    Thank you all for your messages.
    Thank you all for your messages. I feel comforted when I read your posts. I appreciate all of you.

    ----- Let me clarify that this is not Colorectal Cancer. The Onc said this is a new diagnosis and it is Pancreatic Metastatic Adenocarcinoma. His prognosis is 6 months to 1 year. The short-term chemo of Gemzar may extend my life 3-4 months. I am going back and forth on this chemo even though I have made an appt for Monday. I do not want to live the remainder of my life with nauseau and tiredness and in the bed. I have been given pain medication to keep me comfortable.

    Thank you again for all of your comments. They are so important to me.

    Hugs,
    Lizzy

    You're an incredible woman and a source of inspiration for so many of us on this site. I can only imagine how amazing you must be in person, and how those who are lucky enough to personally know you, love and care about you. Whether we like (or accept) it or not, everyone sooner or later will pass away regardless of having cancer, their religious belief or lack of religious belief, their social status, or any other reason. It's part of the deal. It's also something that I don't imagine many people really look forward to either. I strongly believe that living your life is more valuable to a person than deciding to merely extend their life. It's a very personal decision that most of us may have to make at some point.

    I just want you to know that I really admire you and have admired you during our time on the site. As others have stated, doctors have been known to make mistakes, sometimes they even make them in our favor...

    your cancer and response to treatment
    They said I had colon cancer, then they said I had pancreatic cancer, then they said they had no idea what kind of cancer I had...they took a best guess approach in selecting my treatment options and told me that it was unlikely the chemo would work for long, if at all. Guess what...they were wrong, wrong, wrong...chemo kicked cancer's butt, had surgery and am NED as of 8/11/11.

    Just sayin...

    We'll be walking beside you on this newest journey in the cancer world that you are entering, with you, each step of the way, I figure we've got a nice long walk left in you yet, so we'll just enjoy our travel together, shall we?
    May I say though, that this just plain sucks!!! I'm offended by this cancer almost every day, and somedays, like today, even more so.
    I'm just wondering if the chemo would also help shrink your tumor a bit more, so that you would be in less pain, so less reliant on pain pills fogging up your day?
    May you have many more blessings,
    Winter Marie

    Lizzy,
    I am so sorry to hear this. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Since I read this the other night I have been thinking of you. My ex-brother-in-law is 53 and his wife was just diagnosed with Thyroid cancer this summer and just the other day he was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. We never know what will happen in our lives right around the next corner do we? I pray whatever decision you come to that you are comfortable with it. I know one thing, everyone on this board is pulling for you.

    Hugs,

    Pam
