Locally advanced pancreatic cancer

Looking for someone in the same situation as me- adenocarcinoma in head of pancreas. Unable to operate due to being around major blood vessels. Plan is to control symptoms. Feels like a death sentence. Only on 2nd round of chemo which isn’t pleasant but what’s the choice.

  • Welcome to the forum, PollyPolly99.

    I’m sorry to hear what you are going through. It is completely understandable that you are feeling the way you do, and I think many people here will recognise that sense of things being completely turned upside down.

    You said you are looking for someone in a similar situation and I really hope some of our members will come along shortly who can share their own experience with you. You are not alone here and this community can be a good place to talk to people who truly understand what it is like.

    If at any point you would like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, please do feel free to ring their free helpline on 0808 800 4040, open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. They are there to listen and to help with any questions you might have.

    We are thinking of you.

    All the best,
