Mum has pancreatic cancer, spread to liver, lungs and spine

Hi all, Mum went for an xray last week and they found fluid on the lung. They kept her in and was suppose to do a ct scan but sent her home after the drain instead. Following day she coulnt walk and was taken back in. They did a full body scan and found pancreas cancer that had spread to liver, lungs and spine. Im so so scared as know im never going to see her again soon. I just dont know what to do. They think she will be home today but im struggling to even look in her eyes at the hospital. Im just so scared so god knows what shes going through in her own head. How do I stay strong for her? How do i tell my little boys who worship her?

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Mark although I'm really sorry about your mum's diagnosis.

    I'm also sorry that no-one was able to get back to you before your mum returned home but I hope things are going o.k so far and she's managed to settle back in.

    I hope this information we have for family, friends and caregivers will prove useful but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I know this is really tough for you at the moment Mark but our community are here for you and will do what they can to support you at this time.

    Kind regards,
