Vivian was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer on January 6th 2012. She immediately started chemotherapy and along with some pain management started feeling better. At the end of March she started having severe abdominal pain. New scans revealed that tumors had spread throughout her liver and pancreas. That's where this blog picks up. Vivian passed away on April 26th, 2012.

Home and Happy
Vivian is home resting comfortably and there is an air of relaxation in the house. We know there are more trials before us, but for now there is relief in both the literal and figurative sense. Two stents were placed - one in the main bile duct of the liver and one in the pancreatic duct. Both were completely blocked and drainage was immediate from the pancreas. We should see the full effect of the stents and pressure relief in the next 72 hours. I will keep posting on the results and progress.
