Need all your prayers for my father

Hi all. I am very sad right now as I found out my father has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He has been extra tired for a while and the doctor thought he needed a heart valve replacement but he started having some pain and was losing weight and he went to emergency last week and had a cat scan which is when the cancer was found. We all met with the Oncologist this week and he said he can try chemo which will not make him too sick or make his hair fall out. With the chemo has can live 1.5 years if the chemo works and without 4-6 maybe 12 months.

I am so shocked and upset as you can imagine. He told me he hopes all is OK with me because he and my mom can't help or worry about it. I told him everything is fine although it is not as I am in such a horrible situation but what matters now is my spending as much time with him as I can. I just don't want to see him suffer as time goes on. I have to not cry in front of him and be strong for him and my mom.

Thank you all for letting me post this.
