It's been a while. I wish I were back with a new project, but I have to share something difficult. I have pancreatic cancer. Tomorrow at 5:30am I have surgery, then six months of chemo. I'm scared and hopeful, and I needed to share where I am and where I'm headed. buff.ly/9o8qcxv #100Devs

You are very loved - this post keeps coming across my feeds. I found the post-diagnosis, pre-surgery stage to be the most terrifying. Since you mention seeking support, I found Immerman Angels very helpful when I was trying to find any stories about cancer journeys similar to mine.
