My husband was lead to believe that he had pancreatic cancer, hospital said he had a mass there and it didn't look good. After a long wait, we finally saw the oncologist last week, almost two weeks now. He said the pancreas looks normal but there is something wrapped around it, lymph nodes are swollen which would cause the pain and fluid on the lungs. My husband has COPD and has gone through very rough experiences with pneumonia before, ventilator for three weeks one time. We ended up in emergency this week and they say he has pneumonia. He is still in incredible pain in his back, we are still waiting for an appt for a biopsy and ct scan. He is not eating much, also on strong pain meds which only dull the pain. How do we cope with all this waiting? How can he continue in so much pain?
