A lot of people have set up blogs in the past little while to communicate easily with family and friends. Although I could set up a website, it's a lot more work; blogging is much easier.
So what is this blog all about? Two weeks ago yesterday, I received a diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma (cancer) from my family doctor. My husband and I kept this information to ourselves for a week, but in the past seven days, we have been telling people what my situation is.
This blog is a central information center where people can check in and find out how I'm doing.
I have pancreatic cancer. I have set up this blog so all my busy friends can drop by and get an update on how I'm doing. Why Eviction Team? I named my cancer Charlene. I think of Charlene as an uninvited houseguest that has taken up residence inside my ribcage, and I want her out! I and my medical posse are going to evict her!
