Please, dear sisters...I need your strength and prayers. I have just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Just a wee update...I have decided to go for a second opinion, as here in Moncton NB I was told the tumour is inoperable. So I have an appointment next Tuesday at the Ottawa Ontario Cancer Centre. I am hoping they can do something, maybe radiation, to rid me do this disease, God willing.
Blessings to you al
Claire

Great news! I have finally been called in next Tuesday by the St. John NB Regional Hospital for my PET scan! Hopefully it will not be too long a wait after this for my surgery. Thank you all for your prayers and positive thoughts.
Praise God,
Claire

Thank you so much, Jerri. Prayers are so powerful

thinking of you my thoughts are with you. hugs Sally

Can you come down to the US for testing? April just seems so long to wait. Hang in there, dear friend, we are praying for you. Huge hugs for strength, and patience. Jan

Prayers for you!

Oh, Claire, how anxious you must be feeling having to wait. I am praying for you daily and will add that you will be called in sooner rather than later. I know you must want to get this journey started. Use this time to do everything you can to gain strength, both in body and spirit. Hugs! ;)

update: I found out this week that there is a waiting list until April for a PET scan here in Moncton! and that it can take another 2-4 weeks after that for the surgery. My doctor has added me to the St.John NB hospital list, too. My daughter in Ottawa is looking to see what options are available in her area for me.
I thank you all for the many good wishes and for keeping me in your prayers.
Hugs to all
Claire

I am so very very sorry that you have heard these awful words. Please know that we will be praying not just for you, but for your family and the medical team who will be caring for you. Please keep us informed so we can adjust our prayers. Grab onto our Lord and Savior and trust Him.

God is beside you always, there with you in the problem. I have asked him to be with you for healing and for spiritual uplifting. It is not the hopeless diagnosis it used to be. We had a dear friend in our church who lived six years with her diagnosis and had a quality life until the last week. I am praying for the best for you.

You have my prayers. I have prayed for you already, and Jesus will pray for you even as you don't know how to pray for yourself. I send you love and hugs and pray for comfort and strength and knowledge for your doctors and your family to meet your needs.
