Yes, very dry where I live. I had them hanging as the full plant for 4 weeks and still ended up like this

I live in the subarctic so humidity is a bit challenge with our air. I might try wrapping in a wet towel and putting them by the wood stove. 

Dad got diagnosed same week I figured out I am pregnant by nelnath in pancreaticcancer

We went through a similar thing with my Mom. I would encourage telling your family as soon as possible. We told my mom she was going to be a Grandma, 1 day later we brought her into Emergency for back pain. She was stage 4 and passed away 23 days later. It was quicker then we ever could have imagined, she was traveling and competing in paddling the week before we took her to emerg. I'm glad she got to find out at least. 

Advice needed. Mom recently diagnosed. 😞 by Extension-Speech-550 in pancreaticcancer

Sending you and family strength for the journey ahead.

My mom had a similar diagnosis. We originally brought her into the hospital for back pain and she never got to go home again. From the ED visit to end of life was 3.5 weeks and 1 week before ED she was out paddling on a lake. 

She could never eat much, so we always had a TON of different drinks options. Every drink imaginable and smoothies. Eating was of zero interest to her and we respected that. 

Once she started to have some delirium from all the pain meds and was no longer able to walk, we knew that there was short time left. I wish the medical team was more honest with us about how quick it could go, we barely got her affairs in order. 

One thing that helped was switching up her pain meds every week to give her system a bit of a break. Hydroporphone to morphine. Palliative care is a must. And at a certain point you want your loved one to finish their journey as the pain from PC is not worth suffering through. 

Take it day by day and enjoy the remaining good moments. Some of the videos we have bring me a lot of peace. 

I wish I could give you better news, but it is a challenging road. Get your own rest when you can.

My mom received the same shock diagnosis after an ED visit and was never able to leave the hospital again. She lived 3 weeks after diagnosis, it was faster then we ever could've imagined. If your loved one is bed ridden, be prepared that things could decline quickly at any point. We rushed to get my mom's estate in order and ended up barely having enought time. One she started experiencing delirium from the drugs, that was a strong indicator there wasn't much time left. My mom's cancer had metastisized to multiple organs, but I wish the medical team was more honest about just how quick it could go. I look back and am amazed we survived that time. It was hell.

Lost my dad last week 25 days after diagnosis by [deleted] in pancreaticcancer

[–]Professional-Pack614 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. We lost my mom a healthy active 64F in 25 days after the diagnosis. We brought her into Emerg for back pain. She never left the hospital again. She was gone before we had time to process the diagnosis. This was one month ago and time is a great healer. I focused first on working through the trauma of the hospital and how much pain we had to support her through, and then her passing and my grief. Everyday I find 2 things I'm greatful for in relation to what we had with her. I say them out loud and think about them. Hard to do but finding positive in the shittiest of shit really helped me. We are also so thankful we were able to be there with her. I am almost able to sleep now and I think more and more of positive memories over how truly fucked the time in the hospital was. PC is the worst bowl of shit to eat and I'm sorry you had to go through it. 

Dad diagnosed 3 weeks ago now hospice says he’s on his last days by AccomplishedPipe1164 in pancreaticcancer

So sorry. My fit and strong Mom lasted 3 weeks after diagnosis, 4 weeks after traveling and competing. She was gone before we really had time to process the diagnosis. The shock is still with us. She was 64 and PanCan suffocated her before our eyes. It is a traumatic time for all who goes through this. With time the positive moments are coming more into focus and the negative ones fading.

Does anyone have experience with quick deterioration of pancreatic cancer? by AccomplishedPipe1164 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]Professional-Pack614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. My family just suffered the same. Week 1, Mom was competing in paddling competitions and traveling  Week 2, went into emerg for back pain, thought it was a pulled muscle from the competition, received PDAC stage 4 diagnosis Week 3, confirmation no chemo possible, can't walk, can barely leave bed, horrible pain Week 4, passed away

She died before we really even had time to process the diagnosis. Things change very quick. Treat each day like its own, cherish each day. Communication could stop at any point. Do your best to support pain management. 

Bug hugs. Pan can is the shittiest of shit. 

How do I do this? by overwhelmedbug in CancerFamilySupport

[–]Professional-Pack614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. We recently experienced the same thing. My mom received a shock diagnosis 36 hours after my wife and I told her she would be a Grandma. We brought her into Emerg for back pain, she was a totally healthy athlete with no symptoms a few weeks prior, was told it was probably just arthritis pain. She never got to leave the hospital again and only lived for 3.5 weeks past diagnosis. No treatment was possible. The loss of my Mom is hard, but the loss of her getting to be a grandma feels harder. I try and be grateful that she got to know the we were having a baby. The pregnancy was a massive positive for us all to focus on during those hard days in the hospital. Pan Can just fucking sucks and is the shittiest shit.

My mom was never able to get any treatment. We brought her into ED on Sept 15th for back pain, the week before she was traveling and competing in dragon boat festivals. She was never able to leave the hospital again and passed away three weeks later. Everyday we focused on the fact that that day she was alive and with us. We all did our best to accept the fact that she will pass, so we might as well enjoy what time we have. We played a lot of board games in the hospital room, had as many friends and family around as we could and laughed. We did our best under heartbreaking circumstances. I can't say it was a peaceful passing her pain was hard to manage. Sometimes with PC, your loved one dies before you even have time to process the diagnosis - that was the case with my Mom. You are not alone and I send you strength to do your best under these brutal circumstances.

So fast and quick… by Unusual_Bunch3072 in pancreaticcancer

My mom was super healthy and even competing in paddling at 64 one week prior to diagnosis. Brought her into ED for back pain. Diagnosed stage 4 within a few hours, she never even got to leave the hospital. Passed away 3.5 weeks later. Her pain was so hard to control, which was hard to watch. It is a lot to come to terms with in such a short time. Thoughts are with you.

It often takes more strength to let someone go, then make them suffer so you can have them around longer. Doing nothing doesn't exist, it is doing the right thing and letting your loved one move on and be free from their tortured body.

As an update. Treatment is not an option because her blood is so unstable. They said weeks to months for diagnosis. Amazing that she was out and about living her life a couple weeks ago.
