Dad of 3 just given 12 to 18 months.

Hi just introducing myself. My name is Karl I'm a dad of 3. I've had cancer since I was 18 and now 41. The last place it popped up is my pancreas as well as my liver and abdomen. The docs gave me 12 to 18 months left and have messed me about for the last 6 months . Suggesting many different options and getting my hopes up only to be knocked backs every time. This has left me feeling mentally exhausted. My family is feeling it as well. I feel very much in some kind of limbo and not sure if anyone on here has had a similar experience.
