Didn’t expect this: I was diagnosed with advanced Pancreatic Cancer 11 July

Hi 

July this year, had a mild stomach ache. I was diagnosed with advanced Pancreatic Cancer 11July. Came from nowhere, I’m 63.

  • Hi, I was diagnosed with a tumour in my pancreas last Thursday19th, I’m still in shock, was told menopause, ibs, then my diabetic bloods went sky high , and my urine turned brown. I was sent for a C/T scan and told by a junior doctor at 10.30 that night. I’m 57 and very very scared, I’m still waiting for …..what happens next

  • Hi Nickerynook

    So so sorry to hear your news.

    I know exactly how you are feeling. Nine weeks on and it still hasn’t sunk in with me. I thought my issue was IBS… I was very wrong.

    Its a journey none of us thought would happen to us.

    They got me on chemo within 3 weeks, every Tuesday 

    just leaving now for my 6th treatment.

    Chemo will have its ups and downs, I can’t say you get  used to it, you just adapt. I have no sickness now after treatment, where as at the start I did.

    The Cancer charities have been very good, a small thing was getting a blue badge. It’s helped a lot they can help.

    My thoughts are with you, please keep in touch.
