Dad Has Pancreatic cancer

Hi

my dad had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December and is now very weak with fatigue and has jaundice back. He had a stent fitted in December and did not go a head with chemotherapy as the side effects would maybe outweigh the quality of life. The doctors said he had months from diagnosis and We are now 3 months in and I am so worried how long he has to live. He is not eating much and has had two infections. I just can’t imagine that he will not be here soon

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Avalon2a, although I'm sorry to hear about the reason that brings you here.

    Hopefully some of our members who cared for their loved ones as they went through pancreatic cancer will soon come along with words of advice and support, as chatting to those who can relate does seem to help. Until then, if you feel like speaking to someone medically trained on the phone might help, our cancer nurses are a phone call away on this number: 0808 800 4040 and their line is open Monday - Friday, between 9 a.m - 5 p.m.

    Best wishes,
