A month ago to day I was taken into a and e as an emergency, I hadn't been well for a few months and was being treated for diverticulitis, anyway I was given a cat scan and the news knocked me for six, they found a mass or "something" in my pancreas, they told me it was inoperable, they sent me home, the discharge letter states likely probable cystic advanced carcinoma of the pancreas head, they did other scans but it states that there are no signs of spreading,. The following week they held a meeting of all the team and it was decided I need a biopsy to tell them more,. I finally get this tomorrow a month later, .The specialist nurse said it was early stages and was contained, my doctor says it isn't, one consultant states cancer,another a possible cyst, one nurse says they may operate, another radio and chemo, another consultant even said maybe no treatment! Now my doctor says they are doing a biopsy because they don't know for sure what it is! And to make matters worse they've been sending letters to an address we haven't lived at for 9 years! Every time I mention pancreas there's a sharp intake of breath, I'm at rock bottom now, not coping at all,. How do they know it's inoperable, why say cancer when according to my doctor they don't know? I've been sat here a month knowing nothing but thinking the worst, I'm 51, in pretty good health, and have not got the stereo typical symptoms,at least up to now... I'm terrified they've left it to long, going slightly mad, .Any advice please
