2+ year roller coaster ride is over
Sad to say my husband of 46 years passed away this week after a gallant fight with pancreatic cancer. He was the second person in the US approved for a trial of namodenoson when his health took a drastic downturn, so he never had the chance to try it to see if it would help or not. He was stage 4 when diagnosed and battled with the usual chemo drugs, but the cancer became resistant and his death was just two months after his last chemo. I'm sadder than sad.

1 Reaction@sheridanb ,
I'm very sorry to hear this. Please know, from my perspective as a patient, how much it means to us to have caregivers and loved ones like you on our side. May you find comfort, consolation, and peace in due time.
We've recently lost two other previous participants from this forum that I've met in person or spoken with extensively by phone -- one last month, and one this time last year. Courage and strength to all those still in the fight.

2 ReactionsIm very sorry for your loss. My husband is 45. We got diagnosed a month ago.
Did you husband was able to have a surgery?
Unfortunately his cancer had already spread to bones, lungs, and lymph nodes before it was discovered. He had radiation on his spine which helped with pain, but otherwise it was chemo for treatment over the last 1.5 years. Wishing both your husband and you strength in this battle. Hoping his younger age will be some benefit in the fight.

2 ReactionsI am so sad to read you have lost your husband. 46 years together you blend together into the same soul. It is more than difficult to loose the other half. Be kind to yourself and allow time and tears to slowly heal the soul he left behind. Its okay to take your own journey the way which works for you. The grief too, is a rocky road with many twists and turns, but you are a strong person , I read that in your posts. Lean on others, cry the tears and let the good memories stay and the bad ones go. Hugs for you
