Hello everyone
I’ve just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I’ve had a CT scan and they’ve discovered a tumour in the head of my pancreas. I’ve got another CT scan this afternoon to check my chest, abdomen and pelvis. I’m also seeing the multi disciplinary team so will have more details and hopefully a plan. It feels surreal at the moment. I’m only 57 and have so much more living to do ! I’m a very much a glass half full type of person so hopefully my positivity will carry me through today .
Is there anyone else just been diagnosed and feeling a little overwhelmed? Thinking of everyone who is battling this terrible disease.
I was diagnosed 3 months ago and had the tumour on the tail of the pancreas but it had spread. I had surgery to remove as much as they could and am now slowly recovering. I start chemotherapy soon too. I am 32 years old with a 11 month baby. It was hard to accept but I just focused on the fact that we are lucky to have it found and have a chance.
