Pancreatic cancer

1 minute read time.

Hi guys I have had a big shock this week finding out out that have inoperable pancreatic cancer I now have the difficult decision to tell my two daughters that my outcome is not good I am unsure how to time this at the moment we are pretending this is not happening this can be difficult especially when i am feeling unwell I have a lot of bloating and I look about three months pregnant even though I have lost two stone in weight. I have been prescribed a pancreatic enzyme to my weight which should stablIse I am struggling with knowing that I only have months to live how do people have these discussions I also have an adorable grandson who is nearly 9yrs he is very bostrious so how do I explain that we can no longer have rough and tumble games which have been enjoyed? Going for an ultrasound endoscopy today today not looking forward to this I struggled two weeks ago when I have a endoscopy I am told it is necessary to enable them to take biopsys. This is now my 5th primary cancer ? Is this unusual have I been really unlucky ? Thanks for the support.

  • I am in shock again I have yet another cancer another sarcoma on the same leg as my first cancer started I am scared I may loose my leg because there is not much muscle left to get a clear margin now I’m older I just don’t don’t think I can cope with any further surgery   This is my 6th cancer I feel as though I am still recovering from the pancreatic cancer Dee 12
