    I'm relatively new here. But I will remember you and your family in my next Rosary. May God bless your wife and give her strength in her illness.

    +1--it's indescribably rough. As for the religion thing in your first post-IMHO it doesn't matter wether you're agnostic, atheist, devoutly religious, whatever--it's never too much to ask anyone to care, and it's never too much for anyone TO care.

    UPDATE! Wed week we(Margi and I) go to see the Super Sub Specialist Surgeon( he only does surgery on the Esophagus/Stomach/Pancreas/Duodenum) in Dallas at Presbyterian Hospital. This 'Hurry Up and Wait' is most exasperating. Time to double up on the Paxil as the war time PTSD violence dreams are returning. Thank the Lord that I don't drink, that worsens the PTSD dreams/stress considerably. Margi's holding up well considering..............................

    Prayers offered up as always, Jason. And make sure you take care of yourself. As an Army JAG stationed at MDW (Ft. McNair) years ago, Walter Reed was under my jurisdiction. I'm quite familiar with PTSD: keep your prescription current and maintain an even keel. :Thumbsup: Let God and your surgeon do the rest.

    Genetics and Cancer. Just some more Cheery news for y'all consider concerning yourselves and your families.

    Margi is 1 of 5 siblings. 2 have died of cancer and Margi now has it.

    All of Margi's Paternal Aunts and Uncles died of cancer.

    None of the siblings/aunts/uncles had the same kind of cancer.

    Want to know what you're likely to die from medically speaking, look to your ancestors.

    Think that: no heart attack because I watch my weight, cholesterol, and aerobically exercise? WRONG! Think that: no lung cancer as I don't smoke?
    WRONG! Think that: no colon cancer as I eat vegies and bran. WRONG! Look to your family history.

    Grandpa [my dad's dad] smoked cigars and a pipe...died at 88 y/o. My dad [an MD who shudda known better] smoked ciggies and died of Black Lung and other breathing complications due to his inhaling. I smoke cigars and I do not inhale...just puff and puff.

    I don't drink, exercise by walking the dog, and doing the yardwork that curse all homeowners. I could lose some weight, but have not been told to do so, nor has the cardioguy suggested that I give up the stogies, so here I stand...facing the great unknown with my faith in God, my family and friends...both in M/A and around.

    Looking at my family history, I can see dementia and possibly worse on the distant horizon, so I live each day, thankful for all that God and my doctors have provided me.

    Sorry, Jason...this is not my intention to steal your thread. My apology.

    Jason,

    You and Margi are not alone in this. Friends/family/prayerful strangers are all there for you both. Even if you do not know them.

    We got your back. Just take care of each other. But don't neglect to take care of yourself first. Margi doesn't need to be worrying over you.

    One of the great things about this community is that we are a community. We watch out for our own.

    A Prayer For Margi

    :( UPDATE!!!!!

    Margi's cancer is inoperable and radiation is not usually used in pancreatic cancer due to the closeness of vital structures so, it's chemo and the Lord God only.
