My husband has pancreatic cancer. He was due to get the Whipple operation this week however another scan revealed that it has spread to his liver. The doctors said there is nothing more they can do for him and his prognosis isn't looking good. He may be able to get some chemo to help relieve his symptoms but we need to decide if it's worth going through. He had no symptoms apart from a sore back which got worse and made him go to the doctor. We are all devastated. My husband is just 51 and we have a teenage family. I feel robbed that we didn't even have the chance to fight this. At the moment we are all still in shock and I can't stop crying and am devastated for my husband and children. How long does the crying last? I'm normally the strong one in the family but have no strength at all. We were all optimistic because he was getting the operation to remove the tumour and now our lives have been ripped apart .
