My Story

Living with a loved one who has Pancreatic Cancer

It all started in January of 2008. Steven developed jaundice in color and required an emergency room visit. Thats when his life changed from then on. The fight for his life.

January 07,2008 : Steven underwent a ERCP for a total of six hours, to obtain a biopsy of his Pancreas.

January 08,2008 : The Stent that was placed yesterday for the bile to drain is doing its job, but Steven is not out of the woods as of yet. More testing is to be performed to make a final diagnosis. 

January 14,2008 : Steven underwent Whipple surgery that took a total of eight hours to complete. They have discovered he has a tumor on his Pancreas and therefore removed. Steven was placed in ICU and remained there until January 28,2008.

February 04,2008 : Steven is well enough to go home but his fight is not over yet.

During the remaining years that follow Stevens surgery , he continued to fight for his life. The cancer has now attacked his stomach. He has undergone two chemotherapy cycles and one radiation cycle within 3 years of having his cancer.  If it wasn't for the faith in God that he so had, he would have passed years ago. The story you are about to read from here on is about Stevens final days as looking through my eyes, experiencing my feelings and thoughts while watching a loved one die.. The days he, Steven....so put his life in the Hands of GOD............
