Ann Moore's blog on her pancreatic cancer

The Cancer Blog

Sep 3rd 2007 12:13AM Mrs Moore,
I have watched you on Tv and read about your cancer diagnosis. I remember thinking how strong you was when you said God would heal you one way or another. Though I didn't think much more about it as our lives get so busy, I have 3 children, the youngest is 5. Then around Aug 1 my dad,who works in the mines, came home with a bad back. He had fell at work and heard a pop. He went to the doctor because he thought he had broke his back. They did tests and the test showed that he did break his back but that there were some spots on his back that didn't seem right. They done test and they came back that he had cancer in his back. The cancer had spread to his spine from his lung and it was a stage 4. I am ashamed to say it but I left my mom and dad and sister in the room because I couldn't deal with this. After I heard them give him 1 year to live, I thought my heart would break. I cried for days afterwards and had to be placed on depression medicine and also got a shot for my nerves. I believed cancer can be a devastating word for the whole family.I can't imagine what the person who has cancer feels like but I do know what it feels like to be a daughter of someone who has cancer. My dad has had about 15 radiation treatments and he was so sick he wanted to quit on his last to treatments and we told him you can't quit. Tues he starts chemo, Taxol and another drug. I have read success stories about late stage cancer and I do believe that people do overcome it.I heard very little success stories until I looked on the Internet of survivors of cancer and also read books on cancer. Lung cancer in late stages is very serious, as I know your is, but there is hope. People do overcome these cancers! I ask everyone for any info on cancer,but then I remember that Jesus said I know what you ask before you say it. And then I think Jesus is saying to me why do you keep asking everyone else, because I have done told you that everything will be ok. I do believe that my daddy will get better as I pray that everyone with cancer can get better. I didn't want to depress you but to let you know that I think you are very strong and I will pray for you as I hope you will pray for my dad. Your not in this alone, my dad stands beside you whether you can see him or not.
