My husband died of pancreatic cancer

My husband was always healthy he looked after me we were always together he got a tummy infection in December gone 2018 gave him antibiotics they asked him to go back in January for a scan on his belly they phoned that afternoon said doctor wants to see us so we went to be told he as a mass and we had to go for a ct scan we thought it was a ulcer or something two weeks later we had the ct scan but my husband wasn't well he was in pain I begged them to give him something but they said no they haven't got results yet that week I took him to hospital with his pain plus he looked yellow that's when they gave us the news it had also spread to his liver , but that wasn't giving him pain his bile duct was blocked because of the pain from that and where they left him so long he hadn't ate for weeks, it was just us waiting so after two weeks in hospital I stayed with him laid at the end of his bed I brought him home didn't want him in a hospice so this is where he died on the 17th March 2018 my first Christmas without him in 30 years he was 55

    Hi Maur,

    I am so sorry to hear of your daughter's passing. How tragic to have your only daughter taken away from you so cruelly. Three months is no time to get your head around such a diagnoosis. I am one of five and I lost a brother to an accident when he was only 28, newly married and, with his whole life to look forward to. Sadly, he only survived on life support for 3 weeks.

    We all miss him sorely, but it broke my mum's heart and, she was never the same after that. I have lost both parents and many relatives and close friends to cancer. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer myself in the past 9 years, so I know the disease from both sides of the fence. Treatment has come a long way since mum had it 21 years ago, but it still has a long way to go.

    I expect that Christmas was especially hard for you this year. I am thinking of you and hoping that you find the strength to carry on.

    Kind regards,
