Shar: diagnosed with ‘Neuroendocrine’ Pancreatic Cancer

Hi Everyone! 

I’m excited to have found this group. I’m generally a very positive person, especially in front of my loved ones! I try very hard to get on with life as best I can and not overthink stuff…, 
But when I have time alone, I do tend to pickle in my own head at times, With all the ifs and the buts! So I’m looking forward to offloading my thoughts- questions- concerns with Others that understand the complexities of life, in dealing with a cancer diagnosis. 
I was diagnosed with something I’ve never heard of before!  ‘Neuroendocrine’  Pancreatic Cancer. In 2022 
Also diagnosed in 2010 with Autoimmune Liver Disease, along with Liver Cirrhosis.
I’m 62 -Married-Woman - with Children and Grandchildren. I have great faith in my Medical team of experts that look after me and my complex health issues. I live in the South of the uk.

  • Hello Sharh and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    When someone is diagnosed with cancer, it's natural to overthink about what's to come and how things will go but, as you've rightly said, gaining a better understand and talking through your questions and concerns will definitely be of help. Don't be afraid to lean on those close to you for support when you need it and your medical team are there every step of the way. We have information on pancreatic neuroendocrine cancers including guidance on treatment and living with pancreatic cancer on our website, which I hope will be helpful to you. Also, if you'd like to speak to one of our team of cancer nurses you can call the free helpline on 0808 800 4040. Lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.
