Hello our 67 year old mum lost her husband at christmas and since then had been losing weight.She lost her appetite and had stomach pain.She was taking stomach acid pills for 8 weeks then had a gastrostomy which found 2 ulcers.Then a week later she was asked to go for a CT scan and on Wednesday the consultant said that she has pancreatic cancer which has spread to her liver.They examined her tummy and said there was fluid and ankles are swollen and itching.
They said treatment may only give her a few more months buy couldn't say anything else as she wasn't an oncologist and did we want to see one.of course mum said yes.
Yesterday it was a real struggle to get her to walk a few minutes to the GP
She has gone down hill very quickly.we are very scared
