My dad was diagnosed yesterday it’s such for the whole family. He is 79 years old and was so active up until a year or so ago.
Hi MyDad and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
My husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the end of October last year so I have a good idea how you're feeling right now. Does your dad have a treatment plan yet?
You might also like to join the family and friends group as you'll then connect with others who have a loved one dealing with cancer. If this is something that you'd like to do, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
Do come back and let us know how you're dad is getting on.
Anne
