Yua Yang's funeral

Hello Friends and Family,

Today, we’d like to share our mother’s story with you. Our mother was diagnosed with stage III Pancreatic Cancer back in March 2021. She started her first round of chemotherapy in June 2021 with no success and disappointment. Looking at the high accumulated medical expenses, she was hesitant to continue further treatment. The entire family was not ready to give up if there were any chance of surviving this awful illness. With high hopes, she continued with painful radiation therapy during December 2021 until February 2022. Unfortunately, it was to no avail. Her CT scans showed no promising signs. Despite how much pain she was in, we were not ready to give up on her. She continued with a different type of Chemotherapy in May 2022 which took a tremendous toll on her already fragile body. 

In June 2022, the family and physicians came to a decision that it was best to stop all treatments as her fragile body couldn’t tolerate the strong treatments anymore. We just want our mother to be comfortable and spend the little amount of time she has in the comfort of her home with family. With a broken heart, our mother came home with hospice with a life expectancy of 2-3 months. With our mother’s condition, our father had to take unpaid leave from work to take care of her. With comfort care and my dad’s determination, she fought hard during downs and exceeded hospice’s expectations until February 25, 2023 where her poor body gave up on her. Our family has been grateful for all the love and support, we graciously appreciate any donations given.
