Hi. I found out in Thursday that I have pancreatic cancer and looks like secondary in my bones. I have to have biopsies yet so it's all very new. I have 2 children..16 and 19...and am so scared of leaving them.
I don't feel in good health at all. I've lost 2 stone as I can't each much. I think because the cancer is at the pancreas head and affecting the bile duct. I've recently had an operation to put stents in my ureters (i still also have nephrostomies), I got sepsis and had to have 2 weeks of strong IV antibiotics.
I'm scared I won't be well enough for chemo. Plus I really don't know how to feel right now. I'm all over the place.
