Hey guys. A few weeks ago we found out my uncle(great uncle, but just as well an uncle) had pancreas(sp?) cancer. Well so he started chemo for a couple weeks, until just this weekend he has gotten ALOT sicker and taken a turn for the worse.
In fact they found out the cancer has spead like wild fire thru his entire body!! And hes really not expected to live much longer than a few days. They are sending him home on Hospice and controlling his pain for him. So I am asking you all to take a minute please, and spare a prayer my Uncle Leroy. I would appreciate it.

Monica

Oh no, this is just awful news.. You are right that cancer sucks, I lost my grandma to it.

I am sending many prayers to your uncle Leroy, and here's hoping he is not in pain. What a horrible thing to happen to someone.

I am sorry

I survived a bout with cancer in my early 20's, so there's always hope.
I hope your great uncle will remain strong and fight it off. My thoughts and vibes are with you and yours.

It is really tough. We lost my uncle Bill just 2 weeks ago under similar circumstances. He had been battling cancer for over a year but went downhill very quickly in October. He received some wonderful hospice service.

I hope your Uncle Leroy doesn't suffer in his last days and my prayers go to you and your family.
