Thank you for your perspective.
I am not ready to let go of the future, since I would still like to have more of it.
I have realized, however, that if I am granted more time, I need to use what resources I have to make my surroundings more life-sustaining than they are currently.
It was also suggested to me today that it is okay to move through the grieving process about what I have lost, rather than staying stuck in the denial stage, where I pretend that I can handle this situation on my own.

Oh I can relate. Im 14 months since dx stage 3 currently in operable its been a roller coaster. After proton radiation end of Sept I was doing ok , could get around. Then this march my dueodenal stent was compromised by scar tissue and needed another in April , an that floored me more weight lost , I am skeletal..
Contemplating a gastrojunectomy.. ( anyone had this situation?)
currently my bloodwork is ok and c19-9 normal range 27
So its upsetting to have a blockage thats causing pain
Its a surreal position to be in isnt it ? and trying to stay positive is tough somedays
But the love for my family is keeping me focused on surviving as long as I can
Blessings to you and all of us
