Hi Phil, I’m so sorry about your dad. My sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the end of August. She has secondaries in her liver, and so it’s very advanced. She has started chemo but with a view to extending the quality and quantity of her time. The cancer can’t be cured. She’s only 58. She’s my only sister. It seemed to come from nowhere. We are so close and it feels utterly devastating. It’s so shocking to get the diagnosis, and wanted to just say how very sorry I am for you and for your dad. Kathy

hi Kathyo. 

it comes as such a shock, i dont even think i've started the grieving process yet. i feel deflated, lost and just not present. i can't believe i have to think about the rest of my life without him being there.

Hi Phil, 

So sorry to hear about your dad. My mum was diagnosed two weeks ago after going in for a xray with what they thought was osteoporosis. She has pancreatic, liver, lungs and spine cancer. The spine has stopped the use of her legs. She had no symptoms until then and they then gave her the tests she need.
 

I am also very lost and living with a cloud over my head as confused. She is having a stent put in her liver tomorrow after being in hospital all this time due to Jaundis, hopefully home then some chemo to slow it all down.
 

All i know is since i joined this group I dont feel so alone and realise its not just me in this position. So stick with us. Love to you all, Marky
