Pancreatic Whizzo

Skol
Offline

I am, seemingly, but cautiously, able to say I am on the way out of Pancreatic Cancer. Been a year now with one short spell in hospital full of fluid struggling to breathe. I am up for an extra 10 chemos, which as others may know, surviving chemo is enough of a challenge although I apparently tolerate it very well. Lucky me eh?

Any more Pancreatics out there, I am sure there are....
