Hi Tony = just read yr post. My brother in law had pancreatic - but they couldn't operate. I know the whipple is a long op and is fiddly = I know that there has been huge strides in treatment for pancreatic and I am sure it will be okay. Most people find the chemo tiring - so take it easy there. Let us know how it goes. Have a lovely Christmas = steven

Hello Tony just had to wish you all the best with your treatment  I live in Cornwall too and my husband also called Tony was diagnosed in 2010 in Derryford in Plymouth then saw the oncology team in Treliske in Truro he had terminal mesothelioma and I sady lost him last year .But just want to say Treliske has a realy good team of oncologists  Drs nurses cant fault anyone realy so good luck on your journey that no one wishes to be on so all the best for 2015..Sueanne

Hi Sueann apologies for the late reply. I have just started my second cyle of chemo and apart from odd days of tiredness etc its going ok ish.

It turns out my cancer started in the bile duct which i a less common cancer and potentially vigerous.   scan has shown a possibility of another growth but I am sure the oncology team will keep an eye on it.

Hope you are keeping well and finding some happiness in life.

Tony
