I wish you the very best of luck when the specialists discuss options with you. Pancreatic cancer is a tough one. No getting round that. I wish you every strength and hope that the specialists can share some positive news with you, regarding options. xx Harry

Hello Harry, thank you for responding, I’m struggling to find any helpful information about pancreatic cancer and I’m struggling with the unknown, this is the hardest wait I’ve ever had to do in my life, I’m really hoping for the best  :( xx

Hello itsmichaelaxox

We do have some information about pancreatic cancer on our website which may be of help.

We usually advise people to steer clear from searching for information online as a lot of what is available is outdated or based on worst-case or spectacular scenarios and often leaves people feeling even more worried. 

If you'd like to talk with one of our nurses for some information and advice, you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm (excluding bank holidays). 

Best wishes,

Just found out today my Dad has pancreatic cancer. It was discovered on a CT scan of his abdomen, waiting to see a specialist but the radiologist report said it appearrs unresectable. News has just left me numb. 

I’m really sorry to hear that, I wish there was something I could say that would made it better but letting it out definitely helps, even only a little bit, please don't bottle it up.

Thanks, just feel helpless, buts it's definitely good to talk

Sorry I haven’t replied, a lot has been going on, we found out about my dads from a CT scan too, it’s really difficult to know what to do and how to support someone going through that, I find myself sitting there feeling selfish for letting it get to me so much when my dad is the one going through it, like I said to my dad even if it turns out the way we all hope it would it’s still an eye opener that my dad won’t be around forever and it’s upsetting, loosing my dad has always been my biggest fear but I’m also grateful that we still have some time, we can talk and laugh and cry together

My Dad has an appointment next week with a specialist, so in limbo till then. I'm the same, always a big fear of not having my Dad and it's a real wake-up call.
