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.

In-The-Sun Day
Thanks everyone for a great day of rest. Vivian had a rough start to the day with being in pain and feeling loopy, but finished relatively strong. She had a fantastic 3 hour nap outside in the sun today all wrapped up in a warm coat, sunglasses, and a shade umbrella.
When I left this evening she was eating soup on her own and complaining that Serge was pestering her about not eating enough - about as normal as it gets right about now!

ReplyDeleteThe PCAA (Pebble Creek Alumni Association)sends its love. Serge always studied harder at med school stuff than I ever did back when we would watch Paul, Sara and Luisa at the Pebble Creek pool (I was just trying to look busy so I could stay at the pool longer). Thanks for the continued updates. Sun looks like its out again today, I'd suggest a little Van Morrison on the stereo if you're out sunbathing. Kevin and Myrtelisa Schumacher
