We got sad news this morning. DH's niece, age mid 50s, has pancreatic cancer. It apparently has not spread, but --pancreatic cancer is a beast. Her health has been a problem for about 10 years. She developed seizure disorder and could no longer work or drive. That was caused (they think) by hitting her head on a diving board when she was a teenager. Any prayers for Jennifer and her family will be appreciated.
She is married and has 2 adult children and 1 grandchild.
She is in a cancer center in St. Louis.

I’m so sorry to read this. A family friend at our lake cabin had it and you’re right, it’s a beast. Sending her good wishes that it was caught early and that treatment is successful.

I'm so sorry to read this. Pancreatic cancer is terrible and I hope she has good treatment. It surely sounds like she has a good support system in place.

I am so sorry. I know pancreatic cancer is usually very vicious, but I want to tell you a success story. My sister hurt her back lifting heavy buckets of water after a landslide took out the water supply to their entire neighborhood several years ago. She was using buckets to fill the reservoirs of the toilets and a big trash can setup she rigged with a pond pump so that they could shower.
She went in for a scan to see what she had injured and the doctor happen to notice a spot on her pancreas. My sister is a nurse and her husband is a doctor who specialized in cancer research. She located a center of excellence for this particular type of cancer and her family flew there. She had surgery to remove the cancerous area. Because it was discovered early and dealt with so quickly, she is 100% fine and cancer free.
I am hoping for the same outcome for Jennifer.

that's just awful. We've lost too many people in our circle to pancreatic cancer. I hope maybe it's in a place where they can do the Whipple procedure (we have several people still living because of that!)

I'm so sorry. I'll be keeping your family in my thoughts. As someone with one of those "bad" cancers, let me tell you that they are making advances all the time in treatment. Catching it before metastasis is huge. Don't lose hope.
