On November 12, 2018 Catalina was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, one of the worst cancers known with little options medically. At that time she was given a matter of months as she was in stage 4 where the cancer had spread. Despite the diagnosis she battled tirelessly against all odds to fight and not let cancer rule her life. Those who were at her side know of the struggles she went through and I don’t know of anyone who could have done as well as she did. She went through at least 11 major blood transfusions,  radiation, at least 10 surgeries and procedures, and more than double the chemotherapy given to patients and all during this pandemic. She changed her lifestyle, diet and began taking many supplements to improve her health. She beat the odds though all this and enjoyed the remainder of her three years making the best of it with family and friends. She was incredibly strong and after therapies and surgeries she would routinely be up and about shopping and doing things the very next day. Most would be debilitated for a week but not Catalina, she was so strong and a fighter. She battled bravely to the end and was at peace. We are all suffering but we must be thankful for the 3 years of life as no doctor had expected her to survive upon diagnosis. She never suffered at the end, she was pampered, loved and appreciated. Upon her passing a beautiful rainbow went right over her home. Good-bye  Catalina we love you and miss you.
