Kate's FB update 13/01/15


Hi friends. Just before christmas, David, my beloved step-dad (what an inadequate term for the father he has been to me since I was 12!!) discovered he had a large tumour on his pancreas. The official diagnosis is now Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer (with some secondary cancer too). The family is all still trying to process this devastating news, and support my beautiful Mum and David as best we can. I know cancer touches pretty much everyone’s lives these days, and for that I am just so sorry. 
For those so inclined, we would be so grateful for your prayers and good thoughts, as we face decisions around treatment and care in the time we have. Every day together is a rich treasure. We are so thankful for David’s beautifully supportive family, our loving church, our caring community. Together we will rally around to support David, come what may. He is a man of deep faith in God and has amazing strength of spirit and a peace that passes understanding. While we cling to hope and pray for healing, we will walk through whatever unfolds - God comforting and guiding every step of the way. Sorry to share this so bluntly here, but I am struggling to tell everyone one by one, so I hope you understand. Much love xx
