Hi everyone, I have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I have a 20mm tumour in the body of my pancreas. There are no visible tumours anywhere else in my body but the pet scan showed one 6mm neck node and two nodes in my peritoneum with some avidity. A biopsy of the neck node shows some "indication" that active cells relate to my tumour. In effect I have no visible secondaries at the moment. I am 74 and in exceptional health. I take no medication and walk 2 - 3 miles a day. My nurse basically says that my treatment is now palliative and hopefully the cells in my nodes will disappear and my tumour may shrink but will be contained. I would love to hear from anyone with experience of the awful cancer, perhaps in my age group and whether I am now written off and left with a short future. I have a number of dependants, some of whom are disabled and I worry about their future, let alone my own.
