๐Ÿ†โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ† Dicknations for Sassy! Updates & Get Well Wang ๐Ÿ†โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ†

On a positive note, she is kicking the arse out of the physio side of things. Able to get up for very short periods and walk but she's extremely tired after short bursts and is resting a lot.
Thatโ€™s our Sassy. Some discouraging news, but already kicking ass!
Itโ€™s going to be a long, tough road ahead, but you are going to get through this. โค๏ธ
 
Dear Sassy,

Iโ€™m only gonna speak for myself. I love ya, and Iโ€™m here for ya.

1. Iโ€™ll be back to visit soon and I donโ€™t care what kinda shape youโ€™re in, thereโ€™s gonna be shenanigans, even if that means stealing a wheelchair and sneaking into the elevator and riding it up and down to all the floors looking for the hottest male nurse. So be ready.

2. Youโ€™re cominโ€™ to Florida, dammit, and I wonโ€™t hear otherwise. Screw radiation, just come down here in a thong bikini and stand outside at noon for a half hour. Itโ€™s roughly equivalent.

3. Youโ€™ve got some special deliveries coming. Thatโ€™s all ima say there!

4. If WA doesnโ€™t give you the good drugs, FL knows how to party. We ride dirty.

But this sucks donkey balls (excuse me, Wonky) and all I can think of is that I love ya, miss Sassy, and Iโ€™m on team โ€œLetโ€™s Make This as Unsucky As Possible.โ€

Iโ€™m here, standing by, to help with unsuckage. I can gather cronies too. Itโ€™ll be like sending you a giant Carebear Stare.

๐Ÿฉทโค๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ

This isnโ€™t what we wanted to hear, but it doesnโ€™t change anything, from my end, at least.

Ima be here to make you smile and send all the TLC, indefinitely.

Sincerely,
The Unsucker
 
It's always the waiting, ugh

It is very positive that she seems to be in good spirits, which means that she'll kick this shit to the curb! :rose:โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน
 
Okay. It's been a rough couple of days. Sassy has asked me to post an update here.

I wish the news was better. First, the part of the surgery to remove the head of the pancreas was successful. That was where the tumour was. However, the surgeon found more cancer round the arteries underneath the pancreas and although they tried, they deemed it too dangerous to remove in the end. :(
It isn't curable but they can give treatment to extend her time.

For now it is a waiting game to see if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes - that could take a week. Obviously, here's hoping it hasn't.

She'll probably be in hospital for another couple of weeks.

The current plan is chemotherapy and radiation for six months.

On a positive note, she is kicking the arse out of the physio side of things. Able to get up for very short periods and walk but she's extremely tired after short bursts and is resting a lot.
Glad to hear they were able to get the tumor. The cancer on the arteries sounds ominous though. I hope the treatments they are planning can keep it from spreading. Sounds like the lymph node tests will be the final part of the treatment puzzle. I hope the cancer has not spread there.
I am glad to hear she is up and kicking ass though :)

Yeah. It isn't good at all. No way to get it out without a ton of risk. :(

No, not what we wanted to hear, but surely all is not lost. We need to focus on the positive: they managed to cut out the big tumor. Sassy is alive. Heck, she is up and walking around, ok so for only a few steps at a time but how would we feel after a ten hour surgery, imagine the stress that was put on her whole body. I mean, I feel like I want a nap after a single hour of housework, ya know?? So.

Those other nasty bits of cancer they found, well.. They can do amazing things with chemo and radiation. No, it wonโ€™t ever go away and Sassy wonโ€™t live to be 100. But maybe they can give her a few more years. And knowing that time is limited hopefully she and her family can make every day count.

Iโ€™m still keeping my fingers crossed for ya, Sassy. And look at Trekkaโ€™s post, you still have so much living to do. It ainโ€™t over till itโ€™s over. โค๏ธ

A most excellent post. You are a great person to have around.

I know. She just wanted me to post an update once her family had been told and I, at a loss for words, used Mr. Sassy's Facebook post as a template.
 
He should be giving out free subscriptions to you...right? What a fucking donkey

I don't have opposable thumbs. I'm a donkey! Therefore work is a bit hard to come by. I did try making a living selling my body but my clients got arrested for being perverts.
 
I in no way meant it as a criticism. I'm just saying we all need to keep our chins up :kiss:
I know. :)
Just trying to explain my wording. I'm not great with expressing myself and putting thoughts into words - well ones that can be repeated in civil company anyway!
 
Anyway, I forgot today's update.

Sassy is doing better - she's no longer typing like she's overdosed on LSD but is obviously still super tired. She's had plenty of visitors that have left her even more so.

Apart from a swollen arm where all the blood is being taken - she is doing well. Her dressings have been removed for now. She's still got an epidural in and has been walking some more around the ward today with the sadists (my name for physiotherapists ๐Ÿคฃ) returning for more later.

Quite remarkable only three days after such a big event.
