I had just recently signed up here at CancerCompass, right after I had read your posting. I know it was dated sometime ago, but I wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed it and hold on to it. You see, about 2 weeks ago my dad went to the hospital after experiencing 2-3 months of abdomin pain, once admitted we thought it was the gallbladder. Then we got the devastating news. They found lumps on the liver, and then after a CT scan and a biopsy. It was confirmed cancer in the pancreas that has spread to the liver. It is such a long haul already and it's only been 3 weeks. We have read so much and studied so much and are trying to understand this disease. On his first stay in the hospital I gave him my yellow LIVESTRONG bracelet to hold onto. I wear my pink cancer cure one, as he wears that one. So needless to say as we proceed down this path we hear all sorts of stories with not the best endings, then we hear the off one with an outstanding glimmer of hope. Such as your message did for me. I can't tell you how much I appreciated it and am holding onto, becuase I know there is hope, and as we pray and keep our spirits high there are people just like us going through this as well. I just wanted to say thanks for reminding me of faith, hope and to keep positive. Take care!
