Hi Jjforever,
My name is Fiorella, I'm 44 and last Tuesday been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Been told that my tumor is borderline receptive for the surgery and I need Chemo first. I was devastated and I was expecting just surgery. But now reading you, give me hope that I can have the surgery too. Its very difficult for me as I'm not originally from here, all my family are back in my country and I'm single mum of a teenager. I still have not told her anything yet, as I'm looking for the best way to approached this with her.
Thanks for sharing your story, give me so much hope.
