Pancreatic cancer :(

The person in my profile picture is my Uncle who I adore so much. He has just been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer which has rapidly spread. He is deteriorating quickly and the thought of him being no longer around is something I'm really struggling to get my head around... I feel so useless and don't know what to do to make this any easier for him. He's in complete shock and deep down I think he knows his time may be up :(

  • Hi there john ... this is one of the most painful things we go through , watching someone we love loose their fight for life ... but as lots of us are going on a journey too ... all I can say is my thoughts and what I would want ... someone to hold my hand .. have a few tears with me ... listen to things I need to say , while there's still time ... and just be there ... to have someone to walk that path with me .. up and down hills ...  and to admit wer both feeling scared sometimes .. but together xx. 

    No one can ever take away lovely memories ... they will live in your heart forever xx

    big big hug Chrisie X

  • I just feel so scared. I can't imagine never seeing him again. It really is horrible isn't it. To think just 2 months ago we thought he was healthy. A trip to the hospital with stomach pain and now this? I can't focus on anything but wanting this nightmare to end. Seeing my Mum so devastated makes this so much harder too. He's her little bro and we're going to miss him so very much.

    Your words mean the world. Thank you. Take good care of yourself Chrisie x

  • Please keep in touch ... highs or lows ... sending big hug to you and your mum ... hold on in there john ... how blessed he must feel to have so much love ...  just one day , get through today ... and every today one at a time ... big hug Chrisie Xx

  • He is a good looking man... And feel free to tell him I said so! Who knows maybe it'll at least make him smile !

    Hang in there! We as the caregivers are far from useless, we are strong, we are selfless, and we are the ones that will absorb their pain and never truly reveal are own.
