tumour 2.4cm in head of pancreas + abnormal findings on the gallbladder and liver and one lymph node
Hi squodgeling welcome to the forum. I can appreciate how worried you must be. As your biopsy was only yesterday this could take even more time unfortunately for those results to come back. I also imagine that results and any others will be used to form a treatment plan specific to you. I'm.sure all of us irrespective of the type of Cancer we have can relate to the anxious raising time of waiting..it's not easy. Hopefully things start to improve for you. Best wishes Gail
How scary a new diagnosis feels, honestly its a shock and I totlally understand the emotions that comes with that. The hardest part of all is waiting for results and knowing the plan for treatment. I have been their hand in hand with my partner so I know how frustrating and anxious you must feel. There really is so much shredding of that anxiety once you have the results and you have a plan. I feel for you as so many others will who have been on this journey but know you are never alone
