The only thing this post has to do with birds is the fact that I'm a birder but I wanted to ask for the thoughts and/or prayers of my birding friends.  I found out Tuesday there is a possibility that my husband of 32 years may have pancreatic cancer.  He had a biopsy done today.  We should find out something for sure on Monday.  I feel like I'm in a dream and waiting to wake up.

Valleygirl,

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband.  Hopefully the biopsy will come back as something other than pancreatic ca so that it might be more curable. Please let us know what happens (when you have time).  I work in the medical field and went through breast cancer 18 years ago and I'm convinced that the power of prayers and positive thinking can sometimes help. 

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband.  Good Luck!

Nancy

Lots of grace and light to you and your husband Valleygirl.....

I don't pray, but I am so sorry you are dealing with this...this is so frightening. If you ever need an anonomous ear I am always around. Sometimes talking to a stranger can help, sometimes just talking can sort emotions. And I am always around for you.

 

I am so sorry.

Valleygirl, I'm hoping for the best for you and yours.  Take Care.

I will pray for you and your husband, Valleygirl.  I will pray for good news and strength to face whatever it is!    For your dad too Andy Lee.  Take Care.

I'm so sorry, I will pray tonight. Good luck.

Prayers for sure. You never know what the Lord has in store for us. I'm a 5 time cancer survivor--thymus, lung, thyroid, lymph nodes/saliva glands, and pancreas. Modern medicine and the power of prayer do wonderful things. Don't give up. As Paul's letter to Timothy said "fight the fight..."

[Possumbird55]

Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement.

Prayers and hugs, valleygirl.

You are in my prayers.

We did not receive any results yesterday.  Hopefully today.

[Regina]

I will keep you in my thoughts and hope for good news.  Please keep us posted.

[Possumbird55]

Well, we got the results today.  He does have cancer.  We are now hoping they have caught it early enough.  He goes to an oncologist this Friday and we'll take it one day at a time from there.

Dear Valleygirl,

May God bless you and keep you both very safe and close to His heart. 

There are many advances in the field - whatever you do - do not give up hope.  And know this...."I can do all things, through Christ, who strengthens me."  He will carry you.  You and your family will certainly be in my prayers.

Valleygirl,

Just think positive and know that our prayers are with you both!   I think Sharon said it all very well.

Take Care,

Nancy

Well at least you have an answer and you are both now working on it. That is GOOD. I hope all goes well. Keep us updated if you feel comfortable. Again, I do make a good ear...if you ever need someone random to chat with...
