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.

Today = Success
Wonderful news. Everything went great with the ERCP and nerve block. This is the best result we could have asked for. Now we wait to make sure her liver drains and everything is working as it should, but everyone (including Vivian) is in great spirits. We know that this is not a cure for a terminal disease, but it will hopefully allow us to all celebrate a little longer with someone we all know and love. She is excited to spend more time with friends and family.
We will be returning home to St. Joe soon and she should be resting comfortably back in her owns house by this evening. I will continue to post daily to keep everyone on board. Thanks everyone.
