Hi so confused, just been given the news that my cancer has spread to my liver from the pancreas, and there is nothing they can do, I could have chemo which will give me possibly 2/3 months but possibly feeling ill throughout treatment but it wont get rid of it and that's all Velindre gave me was leaflets on chemo treatment. I really don't know where to go from here, who do I talk to, what happens next, who's going to look after my end care. It feels like they told me and said goodbye and I was sent on my way to go and die......... The doctor told me "educated guess I could last 12 months"
