No, Maryjo, the prognosis for pancreatic cancer is never good. Would you share DH's brother's name, so that I may remember him by name in our "prayers of the people" at church? Heaven help you and your family. Love, Marji

Maryjo , I know this was a shock to your husband and all of you . My husband also had cancer and I know what your family is going thru. My thoughts and prayer are with all of you

So sorry to hear about the pancreatic cancer of your DH's brother. I will think of you and your family in this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear this news, and I will pray for you and your family. Hugs n flowers

I have had my pancreas removed, although not due to cancer. As long as the cancer has not spread then there is a chance.It is possible to live without a pancreas. This is not something that is routinely done and MOST would say that you can't live without a pancreas, but I am here to say that it is possible. My surgery anniversary is approaching it will be 2 years soon. Here is a link to my surgeon http://www.fairviewtransplant.org/pancreas/
I am not saying that a islet cell transplant is an option, as they would not want to take cells from a cancerous organ and put into another. I would still try, again, most physicians will say this isn't able to be done, they just don't know the new technology. There are 3 places in the US that do this type of surgery, the surgery I had has been done less than 500 times world wide.

I am so sorry to hear such bad news. I will keep him in my prayers and what a wonderful thing your husband is doing going to Fl. to run his business. That is large task to undertake.

I know this disease in my family. My prayers are with you and all of the family. God is always with you and you don't have to do it alone. You were never meant to do it by yourself.

Prayers and thoughts are with you.

Mar 10:51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
Mar 10:52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

****Go in PEACE ;) *2U

What a sad call that was for you. I am so sorry, and I will stand in the gap for you. Your love for your DH and your faith will carry you through this. God IS good. Bless you all.

It is hard to get calls like that, but good that your hubby can go help his brother and be with him. We never know what tomorrow will bring. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

MaryJo, oh how I wish that you and your family were not going through this - but I do know one thing - God does not make mistakes - we gives us the ability to handle everything that He puts us through - through Him - and with Him - you can do this. Be strong and know that your DH is doing what he feels he must at this time. You have our prays, kneel and get one on one - with the one that can assist you through this time of need.

Maryjo,
I'm so sorry to hear about BIL's illness. He, as well as you and you DH, will be in my prayers.

will pray for you and yours *

I am sorry folks but I wanted to bring this back to the top. BIL started a combination of radiation and chemo this morning. DH is in Fl. to help with the business and will be there at least 10 days. I so want to be there with him but commitments here won't let me go right now. Can we give the prayers a little extra push today. Really appreciate it. Flowers all around.

maryjo...you got it sister. When you opened your eyes this morning, God had alrady seen your day unfold. He covered every second with His grace. Wrapped every moment with his love and gave you the quiet strength He knew your heart needed. I pray you know that there is nothing more important to Him than you. Look for His blessings. ;)

Maryjo, how's it going? I think of you so often. And Jerri, that picture you posted is just superb. Oh, how I long for that hug! Marji

Maryjo, Cancer is never good news but keep love and hope. There are survivors (I am one) with good quality of life. Take one day at the time to start with but very soon, start thinking longer term. It is worthwide. Pat

I will keep him in my prayers!!!

I'll keep him and your family in my prayers.
