Hello
I am stage 4 pancreatic inoperable cancer. I found out it was inoperable on the 2nd of January. I start chemotherapy 24 weeks - 12 sessions.
My biggest obstacle is my mood. All i do is cry. Every day is a challenge. I'm so frightened. I hate being a burden you my family and friends.
Any suggestions? I've tried to distract myself to no joy.
Thank you
Lisa
Hi Lisa 1970 sorry to hear about your diagnosis and your ongoing challenges.
Navigating a cancer journey like this can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot. (I have been on my journey for over 25 years with a completely different incurable cancer)
As you know the Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend put up your own post in our dedicated Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.
This group is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support. To connect in with the group please click on the link below…….
You may also want to look at our dedicated…..
Living with incurable cancer - incurable patients only
…… support group as this will connect you with others navigating the incurable journey.
The Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.
Talking to people ‘face to face’ can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
