Hospitalized with pancreatic cancer. Sigh.
I may not agree with her political views, but I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. That 99.9% mortality rate really doesn’t leave you with much to cheer about.
We’ll pray for you here, Ginsburg.

My sister made this video for my mother’s memorial service. If you come across this blog and you knew my mother, please know that we also have a memorial group on Facebook which you’re welcome to join.

I know this post is emo, but it’s my blog. You don’t like it, click somewhere else.
Four days since my mother died now. I’ve been at my father’s house, cleaning, packing and trying to get things ready for the memorial service this weekend. Going through Mom’s things has been painful, as well as tedious. She [...]

My mother passed away this morning at 2:54 AM, one year and seventeen days after we became aware of her struggle with pancreatic cancer. She was 51 years old and she fought bravely to the end. She was the best mother and nana anyone could ever ask for, and she loved her family so much. [...]

Went to a family get-together for my mother today. She’s not doing good. Not looking good at all, has reached the point of being unable to eat again. I haven’t given up, it’s just hard.
So I may be taking a break from Palinmania / religious musings for a few days. Prayers and good wishes appreciated.

This is one of those things that makes me believe in a loving God. I just found these yesterday: pictures of my mother from when she was a baby till just before she had me in her early 20s. I can’t even begin to describe what an emotional find this was for me. I am [...]

So, I’ve been fretting about my mother’s battle with pancreatic cancer. In case you have not been keeping up, she’s approaching the one year anniversary of finding out she had it, and when she was first diagnosed, the most generous prognosis the doctors gave us was that she had 6-12 months to live. A few weeks [...]

I haven’t had the chance to do an in-depth post about this yet, but my mother is not doing very well. They claim the chemo is not doing her any good anymore and took her off of it, so now I guess they’re just waiting for her to die. No, I’m not taking this very [...]

This is a rant. A very, very personal rant.
My mother had an infection in her arm about a week ago so she went into the hospital. While she was there, doctors drained 5.5 liters of fluid from her stomach. She’s been there ever since. She feels great. She looks great. She wants to go home.

My mother called me this morning from Seaside, Oregon, where she has gone on vacation with my father. She had a CAT scan two weeks ago to check the cancer’s progress and finally heard back the results of that.
The CAT scan showed that the cancer has not progressed since the last time they checked it [...]
