Hi I was diagnosed in 2020 with this cancer after feeling very unwell and then getting jaundice, was transferred to The Royal Surrey hospital to see a lovely sugeon Proff Karanjia who said I would need the whipple op to hopefully take this cancer away, had the op in march with a long recovery which went pretty well, after 6 months I should of had chemo just as a safegard but because of covid and I had DYPD deffiency I couldn't have it so I just got on with life hoping it would'nt come back, I got to about october that year and started feeling pain was getting out of breath walking the dog and tiredness so contacted the hospital and they arranged for me to see my surgeon who told me it was proberbly back, had a scan and sure enough it was back and was on the main artery, so was reffered to oncology and started Gem/Cis after 6 I had to stop cause it made so ill and i'm now waiting for sabre radiotherapy and just hoping they can blast this bloody cancer as I am so weak now and tired, I just want to get on with my life and be the busy person that I used to be
Hi Boxer crazy and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that your cancer came back this year and you were unable to continue with treatment due to side effects.
I was diagnosed with a different type of cancer but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be more easily spotted.
Wishing you all the best with the radiotherapy and I hope it allows you to resume your busy life.
