Katie, I wish you both all the strength on the "journey " ahead.Hi all,
It is with a heavy heart that I come to you all here, and say that my Camino dreams for this summer are dashed. My husband was recently diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer. I have to cancel my flight, and walk this Camino with him, as far as it goes.
The next time I walk the (actual) Camino, it will be to deposit his ashes at the Cruz de Ferro. Doctors have given him 12-18 months to live. We start chemo next week. I am leery that he will continue if it makes him feel terrible, and if he does quit, I wouldn't blame him at all. If he doesn't continue with chemo, then his time here, our time together, gets progressively shorter.
I am glad that I got to walk part of the Camino last summer. I met wonderful people, earned my compostela, and learned so many lessons along the way. It's bittersweet to me that the next time I go on Camino, I'll have all the time I need to walk, as long as I want. And although he won't be waiting for me at home, he'll always be with me in my heart, wherever I go.
I have a feeling this Camino is going to be life-disrupting and life-changing in more ways than I can imagine.

Katie, my heart goes out to you. I've lost two family members to the Big C... and I hate the dashed thing. You have been called by Our Saviour to realize what a special person you are. I arrive in The Holy City tomorrow at 8.30 pm. Rest assured, you will be in my prayers. Buen Camino, precious Sister. May the Holy Spirit be with you always. CaesarHi all,

Angie, this is probably Katie's special Camino. Be blessed, Angie. CaesarKate,
Thank you for sharing with us what is taking place in your life in order for your camino forum brothers and sisters to support you as you "walk" down this difficult part of your journey.
So many thoughtful and kind words have been shared thus far and I, too, want to offer a prayer for strength, courage and hope.
My prayers go with you and him for this journeyHi all,

So sad to hear this Camino Kate praying for you and your husband to have the strength you will need,Knowing how to go forward in the face of terminal cancer and impending widowhood is the toughest challenge I think I have ever faced or will ever face.
Raelyn I just sent you a PM. See your IN box.I'm so sorry for you both.
Maybe try looking into cannabis oil as an alternative or to help with nausea from chemo? Many people swear by it for combating cancer. Just a thought to look into.
You're both on a hard road. My prayers are with you.

I can't thank you all enough. Every time I read this it makes me cry. So much love, sympathy, kindness. You are all such wonderful people. It's this openness, love, and willingness to help that mad me fall in love with the Camino. I've spent all Saturday night sleepless; right now it's early on Sunday morning. Monday morning, Jack and I go in super early to UCLA and get his chemo port operation done. Thursday we go for the first chemo treatment. Bless you all for the love you have shown Jack and me.
