Best Pancreatic Care in the UK

My father has been diagnised with Advanced  pancreatic cancer. We have been advised on two seperate occassions that it has spraed first we were told to the lungs then the liver with Pep scans not confirming this.

As a result of the above a multi diciplinary meeting was held where two other Professionals looked at the scans and said they felt the small dots on my fathers lungs could be cancerous and therefore have now stated he is no longer treatable.

My father was recently in hospital and overheard two of the health professioansl on the ward say the scans were shocking and not done properly.

I am therefore not confident that my fathers outcomes are acurate and would like a secont CT scan of the luungs and indeed a second opinion. However, I have no idea how we can get that second opinion from the part of the UK who provide the best pancreatic cancer care.

Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Hello bernardon32, 

    I am sorry to hear of your father's diagnosis of advanced pancreatic cancer and that you have been informed that his cancer is no longer treatable. I can understand given what you heard about the scans that you would like to have a second opinion. There is information on this page on our website on how to get a second opinion which I hope will be useful to you. 

    I hope that you manage to talk to someone about this. Should you wish to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses about anything, don't hesitate to call them on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
