@slosammie, glad to know you chemo is working! I hope the side effects are managable.

Having lost my mother to cancer at 57 years, literally 3 months after I myself became a mother, and with heredity for the illness high on her side, I guess this situation is emotionally loaded for me for a long time personally and from a parental perspective.

I will THINK POSITIVE, THINK WELL, and pray for strength and healing for us and our families both. Thanks for connecting.

Hi Ellie ~ Thank you for your response! Cancer runs high in my family on both sides too...we must be aware for the signs, Mine were ignored by my diabetes endocrinologist over 10 months of pain complaints. Luckily, I had other doctors who made referrals and I was properly diagnosed, hopefully in time. Its close and I am not sure of the outcome yet. My gastroenterologists were on the ball and recognized my having melanoma 46 years ago precluded me for additional cancer flaring up...that is now with the PC. I was given the proper tests MRI, CAT Scan CA-19 then a biopsy. I wish you a long life with your family. I will add you to my prayer list if that's ok with you...Sammie
