Mum in Law diagnosed pancreatic cancer

2009-04-10T19:58:26Z

My husbands mum was seen by general surgery consultant last Monday after previously having had ultrasound and body scan We were told there was a tumour on her pancreas and cluster showing on her liver - I understand that it is difficult to dianose in the early stages Unfortunately as was spread to liver was inoperable and the way forward was to have a biopsy to the liver to confirm consultants diagnosis - we went home in a daze Later in the afternoon - telephone call from nurse to arrange biopsy for next day - 9am Arrived admissions ward 8.30am and allocated bed At 1.30pm mum-in-law was transferred for procedure - I took father-in-law to find him some lunch At 3.30pm we went to ward 7 no mum, try ward 37 again no mum, told to wait in the day room about 4.30pm ward clerical staff came looking for us mum had been asking for us - we went to Angiplasy unit where mum was very upset as the nurses had been trying to find us for 2 hours At 5pm mum transferred to ward 37 as Angiplasy unit was closing As mum was not too well she was eventually told she ad to stay overnight - I got my father-in-law home at 8.30pm after 11 hours at the hospital We were all exhausted and mum really wanted to come home with us Mum is in a daze, as we all are, and dad cant understand why there are no drugs to kill the cancer We have been told today mum has an appointment with chemo consultant on Wednesday I have looked at the blogs, and forums and been on chatrooms twice - but seems that pancreatic cancer is not discussed very much - does any one have any advice on what to expect re chemo etc
