I know she's battling pancreatic cancer (ugh) but I haven't heard anything about her condition in months. I sure hope she can return to her seats this Fall and root on the Seahawks like she's been doing since 1976.
Any News on Momma Blue?

Cancer Sucks.
Hope she’s doing ok.
I have a young co-worker (27y/o) married only 8 months that just yesterday had a testicle removed secondary to cancer.
Edit:
I’m sure we all have been effected by cancer (directly/indirectly).

Pancreatic cancer is deadly. IIRC, there's about 5 -20% chance of surviving 2 years. But there is some good research coming down the pipe.
I read newatlas site everyday, and they regularly have articles on possible cancer treatments, especially through immunotherapy. Here's a link to some promising research:

Good luck to all those battling cancer! I've lost three family members to it myself. It's definitely not for the faint of heart.

Lost my mom to cancer, or more accurately to the treatment - her body couldn't handle chemo and radiation.
Cancer definitely sucks.

Damn! I'm so sorry. It actually harder on the family to watch the chemo progression than live it. It's miserable though. My poor wife went through hell. As I was going through treatment her mother was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer and passed in two months.
I just finished Chemo and radiation for a sarcoma. The tumor was successfully removed in March, about the size of a football attached to my left hamstring. I'll probably never run again as they had to remove a substantial amount of muscle to make sure the boarders didn't harbor more cancer.
I came close to passing twice due to chemo. It just takes a major toll on the heart, and immune system. Infections are common and can be life threatening. I was lucky . OHSU in Portland was awesome. The nurses in the cancer units are the best people you will ever meet.
I hope Momma Blue can keep up the battle.

That's promising because whenever I hear "pancreatic cancer" I don't think if you can beat it. With very rare exceptions, nobody does and it's usually a death sentence within 24 months.

If you can handle that, you can handle anything. I'm not sure if I'd be able to hack chemo, and would probably consider checking out if I started in to it. I've been fortunate as far as that part of my health, but after 5 back surgeries, and 2 neck surgeries, I've now got 4 rods, a plate, 3 wedges, and 24 screws in my spine. And all that foreign material scares me. Nothing might ever come of it, but i had a friend who had his shoulder replaced with all kinds of hardware, and developed cancer there. He was dead within a few months.
That's why I keep up on the latest treatments. The motivation of self-preservation. I don't mind talking about my health. I share information in hopes it might help others, or that I might learn something beneficial to myself.
However, I'll never complain "Woe is me," because I've seen people much worse off, and in the long run, consider myself lucky. Without these surgeries I'd be in a wheelchair, wearing a diaper.
I can still walk, ride my Harley, and work. As long as I can do those things, I'm good.
Hopefully, Momma Blue is a beneficiary of some of the work being done by Washington University Medical Center.
