Hi all,
My wife of 33 years has been healthy all of her life, until she went yellow and spent our 33 anniversary in A&E. Reading other stories I think we have been comparatively fortunate that the tumour pinched off the bile duct whilst it is comparatively small.
After fitting an external drain, the bilirubin levels are back to normal. She has an internal drain and a Hickman line and started Chemo this week. There is a lymph node involved and this is near one of the blood vessels, hence the border line nature of the diagnosis.
My wife is very brave and in the moment, constantly astonishing me with her stoic attitude and get on with it approach.
So just saying hello,
Alistair
Hi Alistair and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your wife has pancreatic cancer and I know what a tough time this can be for those caring for those of us who have cancer.
I noticed that you'd joined the carers only group and I'm sure if you post there, you'll get plenty of support from others who have a loved one living with cancer.
When you have a minute, it would be great if you could pop something about your wife's diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
