Hi Gwyn,
I have you and Randy in my prayers.
I watched my father in law pass with pancreatic cancer. I understand what you are seeing and some of what you are feeling. My father in law survived for 6 weeks after he was diagnosed. They had him on a lot of pain meds to help with the pain. He slowly just stopped eating and let himself go. He chose to live at home with hospice care. I was there 24/7 to take care of him for the last few weeks. I am so sorry that you are going through this. I wish I lived close enough to come be with you or help out somehow. A long distance hug just isn't the same, but know that I would be there if I could.
Love and hugs.

Randy talks about eating or wanting to eat, but when faced with the food, he just sort of doesn't. Honestly, I don't think he will last long. Unless what I see isn't the cancer, but just the infection that is spread throughout his body, there isn't much of my best guy left in his body. He is sort of ...like slipping slowly away. I hope he lasts until Ben can get to come home from Alabama. He is the only one that doesn't live here close. The Red Cross is working on it. Hopefully, he will be here in a few days. He needs to be able to talk to his dad and say good-bye. It is sad that he probably won't make it to see Catie's baby girl, due the very end of July. Or be able to be at Sarah's wedding in mid-June. I miss him already.
I do believe in miracles. The miracle may be a small one, or a complete recovery. Just put your faith in God and tell Him how you feel, what you are going through and what you want. God promises to take care of our needs (not all our wants) but He knows what is best for us all. No matter what, with faith you can know that God will see you through all this. He will see your family through all this.
My father was really sick in 1974 and while not cancer, they weren't sure how long he would live. He told us he wanted to live to see his grandson. (It's a loooonnnggg story, but short version) he lived to see his grandson to age 4 months --- 1979!
I watched my mother live 8 months instead of just 2 months with ovarian cancer and no treatments at all.
Hugs and love and especially prayers.
