  • Hi there. I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through.

    My mum is fighting breast cancer and doing really well, but 6 weeks ago my father was also diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It has also spread so they have offered us palliative care for him only.

    My Dad's stomach swells up with fluid as a part of the cancer - he has had 26 litres drained off in 5 weeks and he now has a permanent drain fitted. His cancer is a low grade one, so slower spreading.

    My mum is beside herself and still fighting her own fight, but Dad has said that knowing how much we all love each other how we will all look after each other when he's gone gives him huge comfort. 

    Show as much love and hugs as you can to one another at this horrific time.

    Sending comfort and prayers to you and your family. Cancer sucks xxx
