My aunt has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She's already lost a kidney and was widowed 13 months ago. She's a wonderful woman who has kept smiling and remained good-humored through everything, but how much can one person take?
Her husband was my late father's little brother and my last link to him. She's been my rock for the last few years, and I just don't know how to support her through this. She doesn't see her doctor again for two weeks, and I'm hoping that they caught it early enough to treat.

She really is. During the months that my uncle was back and forth to hospital, she was more concerned about all the "bother" she was causing to the rest of us. We were with him at the end, and she was more worried about me than herself. I have never heard her raise her voice or get angry about anything.
Greetings NorasMom. There's no words to help. I will Pray. The only comfort is to lean to faith. The Lord's promise is we're never alone. Enjoy your together for none of us is promised a day. Everyday we get to see is truly a blessing. May the Lord show mercy🙏🏾.
Prayers for her & you. The best way you can help her is to be there for her. Sometimes just sitting with someone is all they need, no words necessary. 🙏🙏🙏
Wow, Nora’sMom .. I am so incredibly sorry to hear about your aunts diagnosis. She sounds like a fantastic woman, and I am sure that you will support her however she needs. I think by loving her and spending as much time with her as possible maybe the best thing that you can do at this point. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Back in 1995, my father got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His doctor reported that he had blood sugar out of control a year before so I said after researching it get checked for pancreatic cancer now just in case. because there was no reason for him to have a problem with diabetes. he was in great shape and ate well. but the doctor made him wait a year so by the time it was diagnosed it has traveled to the hepatic artery. I took him to Johns Hopkins for the surgery to remove it and they could get all but the bit that was somewhere down in that hepatic party. they just couldn't scrape the wall of the artery any thinner. Still we got three more years with him and that gave us time to celebrate his life and have all his friends and relatives come to his home at the end so they could celebrate with us. he and I settled everything that was left to be settled it may have come between us in our lives.
I don't know what your Aunt's path will be but you take advantage of any time you have to mend fences to bring family together. it is incredibly rewarding and the gift to you will be Immeasurable.
My father found that a homeopathic remedy called bitters helped with the nausea and fatigue a lot. I think there are several bidders recipes but you might look for one. I would also look for homeopathic memories that can help with the symptoms of whatever she's going through or will go through.
We had hospice nurses who helped us in his last two or three months. all of them were great but one who failed to know how to help me when my dad collapsed. I caught him and lifted him back to bed. poor nurse was from the islands end his family was struggling so it was very sad that he had to go but do stay on top of it. make sure you get to get best care for her,
we had two fabulous nurses who blew me away. one has helped people die at Hiroshima and the other in the Caribbean islands. both of them had said that had the same experience holding people as they died. they could watch the Life move up from the toes to the legs and torso all the way through the head. I didn't hear them describe me tell her colors but they could see the energy. as the person do their last breath, a ball of energy could be seen above the man or woman's head. and then it dissipated as if it blew away.
this story sounds a little bit out there I know but they both have the same experience helping really crucial patients who needed the most care. I held my father as he died but I didn't see that happen for him or for me to observe. but I have believed that there must be something to it ever since then. in my mind it's somehow linked with Einstein's E= MC2 (Squared).
I don't think my experiences were exclusively tied to pancreatic cancer or anything like that I'm just saying that if you get lucky enough to spend time with her keep your eyes open keep your ears open listen to what she says listen to what her guess say listen to what the nurses say and I hope you have the best experience and that there are some new Solutions that will keep her with you longer than we had my dad
I used Google docs to dictate this response and I see a couple of typos if there's anything you don't understand, or would like clarification on, please ask. thank you
