Hi 

I'm still so unsure what to write but found this place and I'm hoping for some support/ advice. 

on the 21st December my lovely mum aged 57 was diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas spreading to the liver.

i work in radiology in a private hospital and have worked in radiology in the NHS for nearly 8 years before. So I'm pretty clued up about my mums diagnosis. 
i guess I am just here looking for other people who have suffered the same. 
my mum is currently in hospital awaiting a stent surgery for her small bowel but she's lost a lot of weight and it's scary. 
i hope once she is out of hospital and able to eat again she can start chemo as she will be stronger. But I am scared. What do I need to expect with this kind of chemo? Is there something I can prepare to watch and see? I want to be there for her 100% but this is something I have never been around or had to prepare for. I have read online my mums life expectancy but is this something I should read? I guess I'm looking for some hope. And someone to tell me the stats I read on google aren't everything. 
I'm so sorry if anyone ready this is going through this. It's awful and i pray we find a cure or at least something to detect pancreatic cancer before it spreads. 
 

Myself, my brother and our partners are walking 50 miles to raise money for pancreatic cancer research. Anything anyone knows to help my mum and her pain please please let me know.
