Hello,
I was diagnosed with Pancreatic head cancer in May 22. I had Whipple surgery to remove the cancer, followed by 6 months of
Adjuvent chemotherapy. I have just had a phone call to tell me the results of my last CT/PET scan from 2 weeks ago.
It appears that the cancer has returned. A soft tissue mass has shown up at the original site of surgery, and also 2 small nodules in my
right middle lobe, 4 and 5 mm respectively.
The Consultant has referred me back to the oncologist to see about palliative chemo.
Does this mean I could be classed as terminal ? The nurse who called me said that my condition is treatable, but I cannot have more surgery, because the tumour has returned to the back of my Pancreas and is very close to the main artery that supplies blood to the liver.
I am actually numb at the moment, I have been losing weight and look very thin for a few months, so Its actually not so much of a surprise, but I am still numb. Has anybody else had the same experience as me ?
