Hi everyone,
we just found out the news yesterday, took the back out of my for sure, hit me like a tonne of bricks. My dad has been in hospital just over a week as he had stomach pains, we just thought it was gallstones or maybe a gallbladder infection so it's come come as a massive shock for us.
He got the all clear from bladder cancer only 8 months ago, this is just so unfair.
His doctor told him it couldn't be treated and has given him 6 months. Maybe we are all just in a massive state of denial but I can accept this. We have a meeting with his doctor later on today to discuss everything as we have so many questions.
I know pancreatic cancer is a baddie, I've always known this so when my dad told me yesterday I felt like I could just run away and never come back knowing what the outcome most probably will be, but having thought about it, I'm in the mind set right now of "it's not over until it's over"
Just wondering if you guys had any story's to share, any amazing recovery story's? Even if it's just more time..... 6 months is nothing. Or just any advice on how to cope with this, how to be around him? After the initial shock, when we went back for our evening visit we stayed positive and acted like it was any other day not mentioning the cancer.
