that Dr. Cutie tells me Charlene's growth has been about half a centimeter. In November, she was four centimeters across; now she's four and a half centimeters.

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!

Hey Lori, is the doc hoping to shrink Charlene, or prevent any further growth? Any thoughts on the foot rub idea yet?
Let me know if you'd like one eh?
When do your folks get into town again? I'd sure like to see them again, I'll call you and get the deets.
Love Always, Bev.
Hi Lori
So glad to keep in touch via your blog. Looks like you've got some loaded cocktails being mixed for you for the near future. It's great to hear that you're up to the challenge. You're my hero! Always look for a wave from one of your windows when parking my car. When I don't see any movement I assume you must have your nose in a book or grqbbing 40 winks. I continue to keep you in my prayers.
Take care......Carol K.

You are facing some challenges with the new drugs head on and that takes courage.
Hang in there!
