My husbands pancreatic cancer story.

Hi everyone, I am new here and feel I need to share my story with you all. My husband turned 51 this year and was a fit and healthy man, never smoked or drank. Went to the gym regularly and did the London to Brighton bike ride last for his 50th. We had a lovely week away this June to celebrate my 50th and had many plans for the rest of this year. He started to feel a little unwell feeling full quickly after eating at the end of June. Went to the doctors and they gave him some gastric reflux tablets. He then had pain under his right ribs and in his back which got worse and he couldn’t sleep laying down. Went back to the doctors which they done blood tests which the showed up with high liver enzymes, this then quickly escalated to an urgent ultrasound and on Friday 13th July, he was confirmed with many tumours on his liver, he was already jaundiced and we were told they believed it was cancer from the pancreas but there was no surgery options, possibly chemo if they could sort the jaundice. My husband deteriorated quickly and was admitted to  hospital on the 22nd July and passed away on the 29th July. We had been together 31 years. I had never dealt with cancer in the family and have found his death very difficult as he had very few symptoms before this diagnosis and we had no time to come to terms with it, only 2 weeks from being diagnosed to his passing. I am missing him terribly and not sure if I will ever come to terms with my loss.

  • Hey, not really sure how this works with forums n stuff. Obviously done a wee bit googling which was hard enough in itself. Right. My wife succumbed to cancer recently. To open up, I had recently asked Janice to marry me after 14 years of us being together. Liked our holidays , went here n there but she always wanted to go on a cruise which we did in September and it was absolutely amazing  I asked her to marry me during the most beautiful sunset in Santorini you will ever see, sorry detracting.. so we planned to get married in 2020  (amazing place picked by Janiice) all booked up so all was looking good. Until .. eh how do I do this  she hadn’t been feeling that well so they sent her away with tablets for all manner of things  

    my love, janice died 19 days after she was diagnose

     

     

  • Sorry I will respond to my own post. It was my wife and not husband that succumbed. She will laugh at that.
