Hi, I had a meeting about my biopsy result with my consultant this morning, & he told me I have pancreatic cancer. I've had abdominal problems for nearly a year now, & was admitted for acute pancreatitis last summer for several days.
it's in the tail, contained, & I don't believe that it's a large (stage 1?). I'm due to have an operation (tail of pancreas & spleen to be removed) at the end of April, then to start chemo.
the meeting was all a bit of a blur, but I felt well supported.
I've now come to bed as I'm completely exhausted with the news, telling family & friends, lack of sleep last night.
i just feel incredibly guilty for what i am putting mrs. WB & my 2 grown sons through. I can't feel bothered about me that much, but I just keep imagining what they must be feeling. I lost my mother & older brother to C, so I know what it's like for loved ones.
there, got that off my chest.
WB
