Loved your story and getting to know you better through your writing. I had a friend with pancreatic cancer and when I asked her how the pain was, her response was “it’s bearable”. I started praying for you when your Mom told us about your diagnosis and will continue to do so until you beat that cancer. ❤️❤️

What a wonderful story. I’d like to think I could be like that, but I guess you never know until you’re faced with it. When I used to ask my friend who had pancreatic cancer how the pain was, her answer was “it’s bearable”. I’ve been praying for you since your Mom told us about your diagnosis and will continue to do so. ❤️❤️

Oh Annie… this is such a wonderful and awful post! Those of us who know and love your mother and have come to presume that we know and love you too through this whole ordeal are so grateful to hear your voice, chuckle at your humor, and be inspired knowing that yes, with people like you in the world, things are bearable. Thank you thank you
