I have been really off track... trying to get back in the groove.
:frown: My Step Mom has been diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. It has metastasized to her lungs. I live in VA, but have been in NJ to help out for the last 3 weeks. I am staying in the Studio apt over the garage (really nice!) and cooking, helping with transport, etc. I thought I would probably loose weight here as I really do not eat a lot of what I am cooking for them, but I can't fit into some of the pants I brought, so I guess not.
I will be here until next weekend and then I will go home for a week before coming back for round 2 of chemo Is it horrible that I miss my dog the most? I talk to my husband and son, and my son put the phone by the dog and let me talk to him, and he started bouncing off the walls![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Right now SM looks good and still feels pretty good as well. yesterday was her second dose of chemo, so I expect some issues tonight & tomorrow. Her prognosis is not good, but her Dr is very optimistic. She is only 52, and has always been VERY healthy... eats right, works out 5+ times a week, which helps a lot as starting from a place of health will help her body better fight this. The week she started having symptoms was the week before they were supposed to go skiing in Vale!
Prayers/energy/etc welcome, but should be focused on helping her family deal with wherever her path takes her. healing energy focused on healing or a quick passing.... Also energy for my Dad who is 18 years older than her and is taking this very hard, and for me to deal with all of them![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Proof that cancer can hit anyone, anywhere, any time.....

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. My uncle last May died of lung cancer after it moved onto his brain. I helped take care of him the last week he was alive. I will send all the goodness I can your way. My mother died of lung cancer when I was younger as well when she was just 28. I feel blessed to have all the memories I do of her, even the ones where I was not behaving as well as I could have been and the ones where she helped me dress up in her clothes.
Take care of yourself as well as your family.0 -
Well,t he good news is that since she started out so healthy (works out 5-6 times a week, eats right, perfect weight, etc) she is doing really well so far. One month of Chemo down, 1 week break, then another month. She has had few side effects and her doctors are hopeful for full remission. I do not think that is really honest or realistic, but will roll with it for as long as she does.
I have not been logging my food, eating well or exercising much through this, but trying to get back on track as a way to keep taking care of myself....
Home this week, will go back to her next week again and try to stay on track. At least I have not gained....0
