December 18, 2006, went to the hospital with my mother for gallbladder surgery.  Surgeron found "cells" on her ovaries.  Took pictures, took biopsies, and got out without taking the gallbladder out...didn't know what he was dealing with.  To remove the gallbladder and possibly have the "cells" spread?  His diagnoisis, possible ovarian cancer!!!  Devastated!!  Took momma home, had gotten an appointment with M. D. Anderson, in Houston Texas, the Cancer Center, the first of FEBRUARY!!!  Did some personal phone calls and got momma an appointment on January 3, 2007 at M.D. Anderson.  Me, my daddy and my momma left on Tuesday, January 2, 2007, from Arkandsas, to head to Houston, Texas...Met with gynecologic oncologists, they had reviewed the CT scans we had made in Arkansas...There were cancer cells ON, not IN the ovaries...and the cancer could possibly orginated in the pancreas...the g.o. would consult with the gastrointestional oncologist to varify and diagnois and prognois. Had biopsy on Momma's pancreas, then  met with G. O. on January 22, 2007...diagnoisis...stage 4-Pancreatic Cancer...Momma didn't want to know the prognoisis...she just wanted to kick this in the butt!!!  Took momma back to Arkansas where our local oncologist could administer her chemo treatment.  Came back to Arkansas on Monday January 22, 2007, Momma had her first treatment on Wednesday, January 24, 2007.  Recieved the treatment well.  Had a great day Wednedsay and Thrusday.  A great Friday morning....but it was all down hill from there.  In and out of ICU....from Friday January 25, 2007 till March 2, 2007, when she lost her battle with pancreatic cancer at 9:50 pm.  I too have a very devoted husband to allow me to spend 95% of 2 1/2 months with my momma and my daddy.  Plus we have a combined family with 5 children, with only one still at home, she is 19.  Most people that hear this, tell me that it was sooooo quick...well to those who lived those 2 1/2 months,,,,it seemed like 2 1/2 YEARS!!!  I love both of my parents VERY much....I have been there for BOTH of them...NOW  I will be there for my DADDY!!!
