I am worth all the effort!
My life changed as I knew it on July 7, 2010. I was told I had Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer which has spread to my liver. It also changed on June 4 2010 when I found out my Pancreatis had almost completed failed and I was now a type 1 diabetic to where I needed to inject insulin up to five times a day.
I am going through all the processes needed to make sure I will have medical coverage and hospice care. It is really a surreal place to be ...

My life changed as I knew it on July 7, 2010. I was told I had Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer which has spread to my liver. It also changed on June 4 2010 when I found out my Pancreatis had almost completed failed and I was now a type 1 diabetic to where I needed to inject insulin up to five times a day.
I am going through all the processes needed to make sure I will have medical coverage and hospice care. It is really a surreal place to be in. I am Praising the Lord that I can handle this as I am because there would have been a time I would not have the same reaction.
Remember to always tell those you love that you love them. Not everyone has this chance as I have to say goodbye.
It's a tough place to be in as I am or consider myself a young woman (57) now I don't know if I will make it to 58, I'm planning for 6 months at a time right now. Next month I will hopefully do the first thing on my "bucket list" so September will bring lots of smiles as I will share time with my BFF of almost 40 yrs. Then lots of sadness as when I have to leave it will be for the last time I will see her most likely. I think this will be the most heart breaking part. Seeing loved ones and having to say goodbye for the last time. I guess if I didn't feel as good as I do today it would be easier than it is going to be.
May God bless you and yours with blessings.
