Oh yeah...I lost my dad to the disease about six years ago.

I am very sorry about your dad.

My dad died of it also, in Feb. of '06, and I am probably still in as much shock as you are, the first week will feel like you are walking thorugh a cloud or something, almost dreamlike because it doesn't feel real.

My dad lasted 7 months, he had the whipple procedure and all, and he was at hospice for 3 days, like you said, it went fast...

my heart is with you in your time of need, i hope you and your family can somehow find peace of mind through all this

I am so sorry deb, i know what your going through my mother in law has been diagnosed with it she has a tumour which is pacreatic cancer,the family has already been told, but she still walks around as if nothing is wrong she is 82yrs, had one operation to relieve the pain and the yellow jaundice, she is just waiting for another operation.love shirlxx

Seeing our parent go through this is the awful for us, but can you imagine for them. It make me feel better knowing that she no longer has cancer and no longer lives with pain. That was the hardest thing to watch, she also did not look like my mother. The pain was so bad, she began asking God to take her with him, at that point I could no longer be selfish and want to keep her here with us. They are now okay, no more pain, no more cancer. And from where they are they are giving us strength and love to keep us going everyday. Trust me when I say that the strength come to you, you might not feel it now, but it comes. Everyday is different, sometimes I can even talk about her or look at her pictures without crying. It takes time. please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. take care of yourself.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. My mother died from the same thing this past June. She also didn't look anything like herself at the end. It was devestating. Take care of yourself. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
