Shaken. Way too soon to be pushing up daisies.Looking down the barrel of a fate like Swayze's.Fears in the night & tears by the gallon.Trudging the path of Alex and Alan. So many questions, not one solitary answer.When how why with this celebrity cancer. #cancer #CancerAwareness

5 Things NEVER to say to a #Cancer patient:. 1) It's "only" [hair, scars, weight, etc.].2) You'll be fine!.3) I know exactly how you feel because I had [ANY medical issue OTHER than cancer].4) Let me tell you about someone who died from the same cancer you have.5) You got this!

#Cancer #PancreaticCaner #WritingCommunity #authorlife . Well, biopsy just confirmed the Pancreatic cancer has spread to my lungs, even after Whipple surgery to remove the tumor. Going back into chemo in 3 days. Trying really hard to stay positive & not mourn my old life too much

#WritingCommunity .Before my cancer diagnosis, I had a project nearly done, only needed a few edits. Mothballed for a year as I went thru chemo & surgery, now I'm wondering if I should polish it up for #pitdark. Guess I'm really worried I don't 'have it' anymore as a writer. Hmm

#Cancer #PancreaticCancer #treatment #CancerResearch #Fighting #NEGU . Was going through some old photos and found a picture of me the day after a particularly rough round of chemo. And yes, cancer IS basically one big bucket of suck!

#cancer #PancreaticCancer #Money . My Father-in-law liked to say."If you have problems that can be solved with money, then you don't have problems.".I always sort of 'got' that, but it didn't really become clear until my cancer diagnosis.Now I see nothing could be more accurate
