Hi there. My name is Sally. I'm 69 and live in Spain. I am recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and am pretty terrified. I've had breast cancer before but this feels like a whole new ball game. The committee meets next week to discuss my treatment. The cancer is at the head of the pancreas and is wrapped around an artery. Surgery may or may not be possible. I'm yet to find out. I'd love to hear from those with a similar story. Many thanks
