A good friend of mine was diagnosed w/pancreatic cancer in September. The drs. are amazed that he's made it this long although now he's probably in his last days. He has a port in his body to receive the chemo treatments because his veins are so bad now and he eats only cole slaw and jello; that's all he seems to want. His daughter said that he may have a week or a month left, drs. just don't know. So while you're praying for Patrick (I certainly will, too. I've seen the devastation this disease can wreak) please pray for friend Roger and his peaceful transition.
