Hi everyone!
Newbie here, I found the courage and acceptance to join this group after getting confirmation that my pancreatic (and now in other places) cancer is non-curable.
I haven't asked for a prognosis, might do that when I'm feeling braver later on, but I aim to see my 50th birthday in June 2024. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Please say hello! I'm a little shy when I comes to posting but hope to join in, in a safe space.
Cheers
Christine
Hi Christine welcome to the group, you'll find all of us on here no how you feel. You'll get plenty of support, understanding and humour. As a prognosis, it's an estimate, some of us are living loner. I've gone 1year over my sell by date. I've been stable for the best part of 2 years. Don't us Google, alot of info is out of date. There are so many new treatment about. Keep posting.
Hi Christine and delighted to meet you!
Good to have a target. I've got two! The first is to make my daughter's graduation in 2027, and then to 60 in 2029. Haven't thought beyond that.
I was on here a while in the kidney cancer group before I decided to join this group too. The people on here are great.

Hi Moi2
Thank you!! It certainly looks like a friendly bunch
I've tried to avoid Google as much as possible, instead I check here or Pancreatic Cancer UK.
I'm scared to ask about a prognosis to be honest. I may pluck up the courage to ask at a later date but for now, while I'm still off work, I plan to enjoy my time. And although it sounds cheesy, create special memories with my family.
Thanks Sal, I'll keep lurking and maybe post a little too!
Thanks Claire!
