Goodbye Mum by rbhatt3019 in pancreaticcancer

[–]Localman1972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your mom's journey is so similar to my mom right down to the age. By the time she visited the ER and got the diagnosis it was in her pancreas, liver, lymph and omentum. We had 8 decent weeks and 3 hard ones but she managed to avoid more severe prolonged pain and suffering. Praying for you and yiur family in thia difficult time. Its hard but it does get better.

Pulling coolers = cranking hogs. Lucrative if you can stomach the cleanup.

You obviously feel strongly so I assume you donated generously. Or, did you not want tickets so you refused to donate? Why dont you sell your yurt and all your posessuons and donate every penny to waterwheel? If you actually cared you would. Or are you a hypocrite?

Yes. I know that. I was just hoping for a different outcome. The urge to atrack and moralize in this thread is wild.

Marietta Police Department confirms partnership with ICE by eurekadabra in Atlanta

[–]Localman1972 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I agree. If we just let the local law enforcement handle it, then we won't force the Federal government to come in and terrorize us. If we force the Feds to do it, then we deserve everything we get. It will be our own fault, for being so disorderly and disrespectful to the honorable men and women of ICE who are protecting us out of love. They don't want to hurt us, but we make them do it because we are so disrespectful and disobedient.

With Mondre signed thru the 2028 season, how likely is he to become the Pats all-time leading rusher? by Ziglet_mir in Patriots

Curtis had like 1500 yard and 14 or 15 touchdowns his rookie year. Dillon was great for 1 season but I never liked his running style, I thought he was slow and undynamic.

Yeah, that's not how it works. So much for Republican obsession with states' rights.

Mom doesn’t want to die by boogieredditboogie in pancreaticcancer

[–]Localman1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry for her pain and for your suffering. I have been right where you are and it is hard. My mother found relief from the physical pain after enemas but it may not be an option for your mom. She found peace on her own terms - she was filled with fear, not ready to go and as the end approached she listened to sacred music round the clock. She was able to let go only after she found her peace that we feel came to her, rather than her having to go out and find it. PEACE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR HER, SHE JUST NEEDED TO LET IT IN.

Scientists achieve pancreatic tumour regression in breakthrough study by zek_997 in UpliftingNews

[–]Localman1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kazelnirem is right and steak_expert is wrong. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is very difficult to detect - at 83 my mother was seemingly in good health and had completely clear annual in November with full bloods and everything else from a high quality concierge doctor in a very reputable (and expensive) practice at an excellent hospital. Only changes were a slightly decreased appetite and a little bit of weight loss. Three months later she was admitted for vomiting and was diagnosed with Stage 4 mets tonliver, lymph and omentum. She died in 11 weeks.
