My mum has stage 4 pancreatic cancer
we have been told it’s inoperable but have found a surgeon to carry out a full pancreatectomy removing pancreas, gallbladder, spleen some of her bowel and intestine
has anyone been through this? And how did you feel/recover after?
Hi Buckie I see it’s your first post so a warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but I am sorry to hear about your mum’s diagnosis.
I have no experience to bring to the table but as you wait to if any members pick up on your post you may also want to put the same post in our dedicated…….
