I'm ticked that Trump will outlive me

[Laurelin]

He's over a decade older, overweight, doesn't exercise eats a bad diet
..
I eat a very healthy diet exercise don't drink, smoke or take drugs.

Anyway I got the all clear from uterine cancer in time to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I have months. I was so looking forward to partying when the evil doer was gone.

[Easterncedar]

1. Words fail, except I hope you are wrong.

For your sake.
Love.

[Laurelin]

15. Thanks Easterncedar

It would be nice

[viva la]

2. I'm so sorry.

So much sadness-- the Carters, Jesse Jackson-- all these good people have gone before him.

I hope you can keep on, but no matter what, we'll keep fighting.

[Laurelin]

14. I really hope

I make it until election day...but I'm glad you'll keep fighting

[pat_k]

83. I am so, so, so sorry to hear you have been hit...

...with this terrible news.

I am sure you have already looked into it, but there are many clinical trials for pancreatic cancer underway. Your oncologist is probably aware of anything promising in your area. Or you can explore centers in your area on your own. For example, here in Seattle, Fred Hutchinson in involved in research involving targeted drugs and genetically modified immune-cell therapies.

Clinicaltrials.gov is more of a scattershot approach, but clinicaltrials.gov results can be narrowed by applying filters like "recruiting" "interventional" "phase X" location, age, and adding "stage X" as a keyword. And then there are sponsors, like the Pancreatic Action Network https://pancan.org/research/

[Laurelin]

130. Thank you for the information!

My oncologist is not looking out for clinical trials and I have to start looking myself so thank you for getting me started.

[pat_k]

145. Wishing you all the best on this difficult journey.

My heart is with you.

And a P.S.
The PanCAN network also provides resources and free consultation. I can't vouch for them because I don't know anyone who has consulted, but it may be a decent place to start: https://pancan.org/facing-pancreatic-cancer/

[SheltieLover]

3. Healing vibes on the way to you

[Laurelin]

16. Thank you SheltieLover

💕

[SheltieLover]

20. Yw.

[AltairIV]

4. I sincerely hope......

that you are wrong on both points.

[Laurelin]

17. Thank you!

❤️

[Lifeafter70]

5. I too hope you are wrong

Cause that's one party we are all looking forward to.
Sending you much warmth and healing vibes

[Laurelin]

18. It will be lovely!

Even though, sadly, there are plenty of replacement monsters

[murielm99]

6. If you are correct about this,

I will remember you when I party.

I am 77 and have had a variety of health problems, including cancer. I hope I outlive the SOB, but it may be a vain hope.

[Laurelin]

22. Thank you!

Raise a glass of whatever and celebrate!

[1WorldHope]

7. If that does happen to you, then I hope you get to celebrate on the other side with all of his victims.

I'm so sorry you got that news. My ex husband has had all kinds of treatment for pancreatic cancer. He's been fighting it for years. But his life has been taken over with the treatments. It a hard row to hoe. I wish you a lot of love in whatever time you have left here on this mysterious blue marble in the Milky Way. 💜

[Laurelin]

23. Thank you

I'm very lucky that I have lots of love and support. And I'm glad for all the kind people on DU ❤️

[louis-t]

82. I have this fantasy that people in Heaven will

be able to get one-day passes to go down and line up to punch him in the mouth.

[Laurelin]

131. Oooh i hope so!

That would be great 😁

[1WorldHope]

148. Oh that is fun.

[Marie Marie]

8. Hoping that you will beat the odds AND outlive the Evil One.

[Laurelin]

25. Thank you!

Me too, if it doesn't get too awful. I really want to dance at the funeral. Usually I'm a nice person but not in this case.

[brer cat]

9. I am sorry that you are going through this.

It is a nasty one and very hard to defeat. I hope you are comfortable and have a chance to beat the odds.

[Laurelin]

26. Thank you

My doctors say i won't suffer, at least. I love your name btw

[sinkingfeeling]

10. I'm so sorry.

[Laurelin]

27. ❤️

Thank you

[Grim Chieftain]

11. There are no words to express how sorry I am to read this

Please keep fighting, Laurelin

You are in my thoughts and yes, prayers.

[Laurelin]

29. I am thrilled with both thoughts and prayers

Thank you!

[Grim Chieftain]

37. You've got them, dear Laurelin

In spades.

[blm]

12. 🤞🏽

🫶🏽🤞🏽🫶🏽

[Laurelin]

30. 💕

[mn9driver]

13. So sorry to hear this.

It’s difficult news when there are the beginning signs of progress for some of these intractable cancers. I hope you get a miracle.

[Laurelin]

31. Me too

Thank you 💖

[BaronChocula]

19. It ain't over til it's over

We're all hoping you still outlive him. Sending hugs.

[Laurelin]

33. That is true

Thanks! 💗

[LoisB]

21. I hope you are wrong about timing. I wish you strength and peace.

[Laurelin]

34. Thank you

I need both! ❤️

[LoisB]

45. We are here for you. I hate this disease.

[Wild blueberry]

24. Enjoy every day you have

Look at the sky, walk on earth, smell flowers, pet a furry friend, hug your loved ones (and feel their hugs for you).
Every day you have is better than Dumpy's entire life. You already outlive him.
You will party wherever you are.
Sending love.

[Laurelin]

38. Wow, i never thought about the fact

That every one of my worst days are better than trump's best. But I think they are!

My garden (and the parks and roadsides) are bursting with daffodils right now. Rhododendrens are blooming and my magnolia is covered in buds. And I have an indoor basket of hyacinths. Pity none of my current furries approve of cuddles or pets though

[choie]

28. Laurelin

My heart breaks for you. You're in my thoughts.

[Laurelin]

39. Thank you choie

❤️‍🩹

[irisblue]

32. Words seem inadequate at this moment. I'm sorry you got that news

[Laurelin]

40. ❤️

Thank you irisblue

[generalbetrayus]

35. Laurelin, I hope Orange Julius Caesar does us all a favor and drops dead before pancreatic cancer takes you from us.

If he doesn't die before you do, I will keep you in mind when we have the big celebration here at DU.

My ex-wife died of uterine cancer and my sister Debby died of ovarian cancer. I hate, hate, HATE cancer.

[Laurelin]

41. It should be a wonderful party on du!

I'm so sorry for your losses. I agree with your politics and your hatred of cancer, and I'm sorry for your losses

[BoomaofBandM]

36. Hugs to you

Lost my sister to pancreatic cancer. She lived longer than expected yet never long enough. She hated Trump and I think we all felt as you do. Its jyst not fair.

[Laurelin]

42. I'm sorry for your loss

Thank you 💖

[niyad]

43. Holding you in light and love. Vibes that you are wrong on both counts.

[Laurelin]

86. Thank you!

That would be great. ❤️

[otchmoson]

44. I know how serious this is . . .

but new treatments keep coming. And I DO hear more positive responses (if not outcomes) as each year passes. My wish for you is to hang on and keep fighting. Some day (like the accidental discovery of penicillin by Fleming) some researcher will get an unexpected EUREKA moment. We just can't know when that moment will occur.

[Laurelin]

87. Thank you!🩷

That would be wonderful

[ms.pamela]

46. New Treatments

I understand there are new treatments for pancreatic cancer, please check them out with your oncologist.

[Laurelin]

88. Thanks I'm checking

I'll get a second opinion once I've finished all the tests.

[Bayard]

47. Lots of hugs and good thoughts to you, Laurelin

Everybody hates trump. We all love you, and hope for the best.

[Laurelin]

89. Aww, thanks!

[IA8IT]

48. Love Hugs Tears and Hope to You.

Pancreatic took my wife ten years ago.

[Laurelin]

91. I'm so sorry for your loss

And glad you got through.... you know I'm sad to leave my husband...

[IA8IT]

158. I still live by her rules and keep her flowerbeds weeded.

[Laurelin]

160. ❤️‍🩹💖

I hope someone will do the same for me.

[Clouds Passing]

49. I am so sorry Laurelin. Love ❤️ and Light 💛 to you 💚

Here’s to chances your dreams come true, healing for you 💚

He 🏒🏒 (double hockey sticks) for him

[Laurelin]

92. ❤️💛💚

Thank you so much!

[Kid Berwyn]

50. Not in the way that counts.

The real Laurelin is for ever.

[Laurelin]

93. Do you think forever Laurelin could haunt a few people

? Asking for a friend 🙃

[Kid Berwyn]

157. Borges wrote about the Aleph

A work of genius in which the writer finds a point in space time that allows one to know everything.

The Aleph

https://web.mit.edu/allanmc/www/borgesaleph.pdf

The search for reply to your excellent question led to the accidental discovery of a little-known writer who may have provided the spark for Borges’ short story:

Lost in translation: Eduarda Mansilla de García on politics, gender, and war

https://www.cervantesvirtual.com/obra-visor/lost-in-translation-eduarda-mansilla-de-garcia-on-politics-gender-and-war/html/3962ad94-a102-11e1-b1fb-00163ebf5e63_3.html

Thank you for helping me discover another universe and share it, my Friend!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

51. I am so sorry

You will be in my prayers. With any luck you may be able to outlast trump

[Laurelin]

95. Thank you for your prayers

❤️

[Ocelot II]

52. Maybe he won't. I'm so sorry for that diagnosis, hoping for a better outcome,

and that he goes before you.

[Laurelin]

96. Thank you!

hope is good!

[stage left]

53. Healing Vibes to you.

I hope you and all of us Duers are here to celebrate. May love sustain you.

[Laurelin]

97. Thank you.

It will be a beautiful day....

[Playingmantis]

54. I am stunned to hear this..

There are no words but you arent alone. There are hundreds here rooting for you..

[Laurelin]

98. It's a wonderful community, isn't it?

Thank you for rooting for me

[Fla Dem]

55. Laurelin, my heart goes out to you and all who love and care for you.

We all hope we get to see this monster stop breathing while we still are.

Miracles do happen and I so pray one will come your way.


Peace be with you.

[Laurelin]

99. Thank you 💖

For your kind thoughts and prayers

[BubbaJoe]

56. Can't hurt, might help

There are several studies in the NIH database about Chamomile and more specifically the Apigenin in chamomile having an effect on numerous cancers promoting apoptosis (cancer cell death). I do not recall if it has an effect on pancreatic cancer. I just mention it as drinking chamomile, taking ground chamomile or even apigenin suppliments may be a "can't hurt, may help" scenario.

[Laurelin]

101. Can't hurt Indeed

And might even help me sleep! Thanks.

[Joinfortmill]

57. Miracles happen. And one may happen for you.

I prayed for you. It can't hurt.

[Laurelin]

102. I think it helps.

So thank you!

[Joinfortmill]

146. I wish you healing.

[marked50]

58. So Sorry to hear this. Wish you the Best.

61. Sending love and healing vibes.

My best friend in the world lived EIGHT YEARS after his pancreatic cancer diagnosis. It's a tough road ahead, but nothing is certain... so don't give up. xoxo

[Laurelin]

106. Wow, 8 years

Thanks for sharing

[yardwork]

62. I'm so sorry.

[Laurelin]

107. Thank you!

[PJMcK]

63. Forget about Trump

Find peace and focus on yourself.

I wish you well.

[Laurelin]

108. Excellent advice

Difficult to follow.... thanks for your kind thoughts!

[Figarosmom]

64. Don't count yourself out

He may still go first and you could still piss on his grave.

[Laurelin]

109. By all rights he should

I'm definitely adding "pissing on his grave" to my bucket list!

[angrychair]

65. I'm so sorry

There are some great treatments out there, especially in other countries. I know that there has been some great work in Spain but I think it's in the early stages

Very best wishes for a good outcome.

[Laurelin]

110. Thank you!

I'm looking at Germany for a second opinion but I'll check Spain too!

[BeneteauBum]

66. One day Orrex's hope will be fulfilled

Let’s plan on enjoying a beverage of choice for that occasion. My hope is that you be able to join us!

Peace ☮️

[Laurelin]

113. Yes!

Thank you. 🥂

67. I'm So Sorry, Laurelin! 💔☮️🌺🌻🕯️🕊️

[calimary]

69. Well, you're STILL HERE! That's the GOOD news!

And frankly, I’m just focusing on that.

You have healthy habits and that’ll make a difference, Laurelin. Hope you’ll be here with us for a LOOOOONNNNNNNG time to come!

[Laurelin]

115. Thank you

It is good to be here, especially with the bulbs in bloom

[Laurelin]

116. Thank you!

[Aussie105]

71. Trump the Undead isn't really living though.

What Trump is doing isn't living, it is twitching and generating random reactionary brain impulses.

Can he stop to appreciate the color and smell of roses?
Can he marvel at the innocence of children?
Can he look at the blue sky while contemplating his worth as a human being?

Sympathies to you by the truckload, but you die a much better person than Trump ever was or could have been.

At the age of 77, I feel I'm dying.
It's a slow, irreversible process, with no specific cause at the moment, but I can feel it.
My ambition, if you can call it that, is to die with my mind and soul intact.
That puts you and me one up on Trump in a big way.

I salute you for a life well lived.

[Laurelin]

117. I like your ambition

I think you'll achieve it.

Thank you! 🩷

[SergeStorms]

72. None of us....

not even those with "perfect" health know how long we have. There are so many variables in life.

We all wish you the best. Sometimes the "Big C" will vacate the body as mysteriously as it appears.

Hope for a miracle, and we'll all hope with you.

The atoms of which your present iteration of "Laurelin" is comprised have existed since the dawn of time, and they will continue to exist forever. At worst, you're not going away, you're changing, and none of us know what that change means for us.

The caterpillar 🐛 thought it's life was over, and then became a butterfly. 🦋

You are loved, whether you're the caterpillar or the butterfly. ❤️

[Laurelin]

119. Thank you for your beautiful words

I also hope that what you are asking for becomes a reality before that time arrives.

It might.

[Laurelin]

125. Thank you!

It might indeed!

76. Maybe you still will. I hope so.

Sorry to hear this. I am wishing you the best.

77. I am so sorry to hear this, but I promise...

I will party my ass off and represent you proudly when he is gone.

[Laurelin]

126. Whooop

Because we blue Texans do know how to party 🥳

[dem4decades]

78. Sorry to hear that, hopefully you keep on keeping on, and he doesn't.

May you pop the cork on your champagne and celebrate your life and his death.

[Laurelin]

128. Happy thought!

Thank you!

[c-rational]

79. I am so sorry to hear Laurelin, and I also hope you are wrong. Healling vibes for your wonderful

Thank you 💖

[summer_in_TX]

118. Oh no, how awful.

I am truly sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I know there are some new treatments that can work and I hope you are one of the ones to benefit.

I hope and pray that you will be hear to laugh at his death.

[Laurelin]

140. Thank you!

When is it not summer in Texas?

❤️🧡💛💚💙

[summer_in_TX]

150. Good one!

[Jacson6]

121. Don't worry. St.Peter & U can meet him at the pearly gates and kick him where he belongs.

You can laugh heartedly as he is burning in hell.

I am sending you prayers and lots of love.

[BootinUp]

139. You are more alive, more human, than he will ever be. nt

[Laurelin]

143. Thanks

[hamsterjill]

149. I'm so sorry about the diagnosis.

That seems unfair. I wish there was a fairness barometer because some people seem to have greatly more than their share of challenges. It seem Trump skates on almost everything.

But he will get his one of these days. As a believer myself, i believe you will either see it on this side, or on the other.

I hope you will take the best care of yourself possible. I hope you will have much more time than you are expecting, and I hope you will forget about Trump for that time. Because he's an asshole and he sucks the joy out of everything. So don't waste time thinking about him.

Wishing you peace, comfort, joy, stability and strength.

[Laurelin]

154. Thank you!

Life isn't fair and sometimes I just need to vent.
I am also a believer and that is comforting but some days are crowded with horrible procedures and doctors and no matter how many times I recite about fearing no evil I still do. 😅 I guess this shows that I am human and weak.

Thank you for your kind wishes.

[Skittles]

151. NONE of us are guaranteed another day

so there's still hope.........wishing you the best

[Laurelin]

153. True!

Thank you Skittles.

163. Thank you! ❤️

[Sparkly]

161. I'm with you.

No timeline, but endometrial cancer metastasized to lungs. I'm amazed I'm still here, and annoyed that the monster is!!

Maybe we can haunt him ferociously from the other side.

[Laurelin]

162. Let's do it!

I'm sorry that you are also going through this.
