Update MOTHER-CANCER nightmare starting

Scheduled biopsy surgery tomorrow morning. Hoping for the best.


Pam was rushed to er thinking it was a gallbladder attack. They found "mets" on her pancreas and liver. My bff is waking up to the nightmare of parental cancer. I lived it in 1996.

Theyre headed to a super hepatobiliary something specialist today. Please send prayers and good thoughts. My friend said its a nightmare. Yes it is. Tia PS and my friend is unemployed and trying to get a job far away.

I guess we thought she was gonna get better and then terminal. I really hope your best friend‘s mom gets better. Cancer treatment has improved so much over the years.
