Hey Nora,
I'm glad you posted. This group has honestly gotten me and others through a lot of family deaths. Sometimes it really does help to be just a little anonymous and get it all out there, and we're all here for each other to offer thoughts and support.
Life just flat-out isn't fair. My grandmother had pancreatic cancer. She lasted a grand total of 6 weeks. I honestly suspect she was sicker longer than she would admit; she probably decided on her own that the pain of treatment just wasn't worth it, and she enjoyed her life right up to the end.
My mother is also one of my good friends, and I can't imagine being in your shoes right now. I will definitely include you guys in my prayers tonight. I do know people who have had relatives last more than a year with pancreatic cancer, and I pray that you and your mom get as much time as possible. Please keep us updated.
God bless,
JD
