Hi there, my husband aged 53 was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which was/is such a shock! Otherwise fit and healthy, non smoker and doesn’t really drink, he thankfully was able to have e whipple which was pretty grim ,it was found to be a 3cm aggressive tumour which had spread into 4 /25 lymph nodes and he is still recovering but has just started chemotherapy every 2 weeks for 6 months which on top of all the problems/complications from surgery we are finding really tough! He has had chronic diarrhoea since Sunday with little support from the emergency team,it takes us an hour to get through to them only to be told theres “no space” is this common? It’s heartbreaking as his wife to see him suffer like this
life is so cruel!
