Like Buttercup said the power of your mind is incredible and with that fighting spirit and determination I do believe that it will give you some extra time to spend with your family and precious children and grandchildren. My mum died from pancreatic cancer on 12th May this year after a 20 month fight, she had been so determined to make my sisters wedding on 30th April, she flew up north for it, lasted the whole day at her wedding, even managed a dance, a week after it she went down hill rapidly and when she was told she probably only had a couple of weeks left, she died 18hours later. I genuinely believe that her determination to get to the wedding kept her going, without it I think she would have died at least a month sooner. Human spirit and fight is an incredible thing.  Keep strong xx
