Hi RayMy1954,

Great to hear your story. Pancreatic cancer can be very aggressive and it must have been very difficult for you and your family to get such a depressing diagnosis and prognosis. And yet here you are four years later, walking your daughter down the aisle - congratulations!!

Regards,

Flo.

It is great to hear a positive outcome. Fantastic that you got to walk your daughter down the aisle.

I lost my mother to lung cancer last November, yesterday was a hard day for me being the first Mothers Day. On Friday I was out selling daffodils all day, first time I had ever done any street collection for charity. I would normally donate. I am so glad I done it. I hope you stay healthy and happy
