| Message | My JHU board name is Donna C in FL/now AZ. I am caretaker for my boyfriend Adrian, DX's 4/07; chemo/radiation & then Whipple (9/07) at M D Anderson; lung mets & bone mets DX'd 8/09...currently on Gemzar/Abraxene/Cisplatin +Zometa being given in Scottsdale, AZ. We live in the southeast part of Phoenix Metro area where I bought a home in March this year...previously we were in Pensacola, FL. We're supposed to go to MDA in mid-November but will have to see how he's doing. He's been having problems with lung fluid, had a pleurodesis last month, now is back in the hospital because blood clots showed up in other lung and having problems with atrial fibrillation. It's always something. |

| Message | My wife dx Apr/2010. stage 2b. no mets to major organs but had 4 of 20 lymph nodes positive. whipple May 2010, currently on track with chemo. Doing great so far. You are correct in your assessment of God's will. He closed several doors to us only to open new and better ones. He guided us to Johns Hopkins and, so far, His will is being done. Had we stayed the course on our first option I don't if I would be giving you this good report. God Bless you and thanks for the encouraging website. I will visit often and pray for you. |

| Message | hello, i happened upon your website while searching for any positive news about metastic pancreatic cancer. my dad was diagnosed in june 2010 with what we thought was operable p.c., but after inital chemo and radiation, it was found in his liver also. he started gemzar and is not eligible for anything else because of low platelet count. your story gives us all hope....we pray for him to be well enough to complete his 'bucket list.' thank you for sharing your story. |

| Message | I friend of mine David Chiasson met you at MD Andersons. He is with his fiance who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He said you look great. I thought Patrick Swayze was the only one that lived a long time with the disease. Thank God for your great outlook and keep on keeping on. JJ |

| Message | Hi Mark, I try to check your site every so often to see how you are doing. Still fighting the good fight, I see, despite some setbacks. My children and I are on your prayer list.You added us when I told you about my son's college graduation (without his dad). I'm proud to say that he's now in graduate school at Penn, studying to be a teacher, like his dad (and me). I think he's made great strides in dealing with his dad's death. My daughter, now 13, still has very bad days. She was recently confirmed and missed her dad greatly on that day. I suppose this will happen on special occasions throughout our lives. We try to make Wayne proud of us every day. I hope he watches over us. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Your pictures show a man who loves life. Keep that spirit! Jackie |

| Message | It's now almost four months since I lost my Danish Pastry Mark and, although, of course, it hurts like hell still, what a relief to find you're keeping this vile thing at bay still. I've always said you're an inspiration to so many Mark .... but people will tend to forget it's a living hell for you too. God speed from this side of the Atlantic! |
