I’ve recently been diagnosed with PPC and start chemo on Friday with a view that if it works I can

have surgery followed by more chemo. At the moment I feel absolutely fine in fact my only

symptom was weight loss last year. I haven’t been told what my prognosis is and to be

honest I’m scared to ask. I’m 61 and have always been healthy, this feels very surreal

as if my life has taken a wrong turning from the path I was on, hope that doesn’t sound strange.

Like you, I too have been very healthy: I was diagnosed a few months ago at 67! It's probably going to feel strange at any time but more so in these very strange times of this global pandemic. I haven't asked my prognosis either. My own rationale is that it would be based on statistics and it wouldn't necessarily apply to me. More importantly I'm not sure it would change how I'm behaving if I did know. I've has close family members who died in road traffic accidents and that is a great deal more of a shock....
