Morgyn's Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer (Has Died on 06-18-23)

Use a site like this, plug in your state, print it out and you sign it, following your state’s dictates, like whether it needs to be signed in of a notary, etc. My bank will notarize things for me for free. Your treatment facility may have a notary easily available to you also.

I hope you get to take a nicely deserved rest.

Sorry about your falls. Definitely make sure you’ve got a way to immediately contact people when that happens. It sounds like you’ve got it covered, but you can never be too careful.

Alas, no rest. Setting up a medical alert pendant with my security company (for the falls), dealing with appointment check-ins. Just about out of spoons. :frowning:

You numb yourself for chemo? Where I go they do it for you. I opt for the cold spray.

Do you have a cane or walker? A cane has saved me numerous times.

She did mention a rollator, which is a sort of walker thing.

I missed that.

Prescription strength lidocaine. I put it on an hour before.

Huh.

Ports are awesome, aren’t they? I’m a hard stick.and they take away so much stress.

They can be. I have a friend whose ports often get infected. May this not be a problem for you, Morgyn.

So far no worries, but i tend to leave the dressing on. I’ll ask them to keep an eye on it.

In other news, I can now TASTE the gel casing on pills. It’s FOUL. At least it’ll be over soon, as the antibiotic seems to have done its job. (And yes, I’m taking the full course. My folks did not raise idiots.)

Meantime, I’m also having a few bouts of vomiting. No fun, especially as it tends (so far) to happen at 3 in the morning.

It is with great sadness that I announce Morgan’s passing on 6/18/2023. Another friend and I were lucky enough to be with and holding her hands during her last breaths. Rest in peace, my love. I miss you already.

Oh I’m so sorry to hear it. May she Rest in Peace. Her voice will be missed here at the dope.

Ah, shit. Somehow I didn’t believe that would happen.

Yes, me too. This news has me so upset this morning. I thought she’d beat it.

So sorry to hear this, fudge that’s sad news my condolences to her friends and family.

My deepest condolences to those she left behind.

I’m very sad to learn this. Thank you for letting us know. She was a valued member of this community and I personally always appreciated her posts.

My deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones.

Oh, damn. I also hoped the treatments would be successful.

@Boggette, thank you very much for telling us. I’m glad you were able to be with her, and very sorry for her loss, to all her loved ones and to these boards.

My heartfelt condolences to all her loved ones.

I’m so sorry to hear this. I’m heartened to know she was surrounded by loved ones in the end. Best wishes to her family and friends.
