Could not have said it better…
On April 29th, 2014 my life changed. I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. A friend who was a breast cancer survivor told me one day I would thank God for giving me this trial to live through. I understand what she meant, and I am thankful for the journey. I have learned so much about my faith and my friends and family who support me. And I will never ever give up my hope of beating this deadly disease. God will bring me through it...of that I am certain.

The nurse covered me with a warmed blanket. The life killing chemo drugs were coursing through my body making me feel chilled. The blanket felt like heaven. I have now lost track of how many chemo infusions I have received. But, my oncologist says I am a good responder to chemo. So we stay on…

Dear Judith,
I picked up PVL coastal magazine at 3Rd St diner. I began reading the op-Ed piece about you. When I saw you survived pancreatic cancer I was speechless. My mother has a mass on her pancreas and is waiting fior the biopsy results. Your story has given me hope. I believe God put the magazine in my hand. Her name is Pat Henry and her email is pathvb@ cox. net. Please pray for her and thanks for the inspiration

Dear Jamie, thank you fur the kind words. Yes it is s miracle I have survived PC! I am currently in the midst of chemo therapy to be sure the microbotic cells are destroyed . I complete my protocol Christmas Eve.
I will pray that your Mom has a good prognosis . If she is a candidate for whipple surgery I would be happy to speak to her about it , it saved my life. The Internet has terrible things to say about it . But everyone who gets whipple does not have PC so it is often unrelated . Please have her call me if she would like to talk . 904-806-0032
In His love,
Judi
