This is great news "D" for Warren. I'm living proof that you can beat pancreatic cancer. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2014 and was in the hospital for 7 weeks. Had to have the Whipple procedure done. It was and still is a long road. Went to my Oncologist just last month and she admitted to me and my wife then that she thought I wouldn't have made it. After 2 years and with the Lords help I am cancer free. My daddy died of pancreatic cancer in '83. So "D" tell Warren I'm praying for him and his family.

Nuttin but net, that shows God is Awesome. Warren had the wipple also. God bless him, he called a while ago to offer help when we start working on my daughter's house repair.
