I just wanted to say hello to everyone with pancreatic cancer and also to wish you all a happy Christmas. Personally, I had a haemorrhagic stroke 5 years ago from which I recovered. Then I had bladder cancer at the beginning of this year and two ops later made a complete recovery. Then I had a hospital stay two weeks ago for jaundice which they got rid off thankfully with a bike duct stent but unfortunately my CT scan showed pancreatic cancer metastases to the liver. I’ve been given about six months without chemotherapy.
I don’t feel too bad and have my appetite back now and all my affairs are in place so I know my wife will be at least physically alright. I’m just sad I won’t be able to share many days with her. Death though, I’m 58, is not my enemy if anything it comes as a relief - and I’m not really sure why I say that. I don’t feel morbid or depressed - but I am totally at peace with it.
anyway, thanks for reading this and my heart goes out to anyone battling cancer.
