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!
Hi Lizzy95c27e and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
I hope that since you posted this you have managed to speak to your husband's treatment team and they have been able to prescribe something to help with the diarrhoea.
