Pancreatic Cancer UK

So very sorry to hear such sad news that Steve has lost his fight. He was an inspiration to our family when my husband was given 3 to 6 months and Steve's emails gave us hope that maybe he could survive longer. You must all be so proud that he gave other people hope. Thinking of you at this sad time...

Oh Kate how dreadful for you and your family. I have not posted on here for a while but I know how shocked you must all be. We had the same news in 2013 after a family holiday and nothing at all prepares you for it. My husband had a tumour in the tail of his pancreas but with numerous nodules in bot...

Hello Sheena. Yes it is so terribly unfair that the people we love have to face this. I think most people in your position do find that they get angry and sad and very emotional, it is only normal that we all go through these feelings. My husband was lucky in some respects, that he had a chemo regim...

Hello Keith. I have not been on this site for some time but my husband has cancer in the tail of his pancreas which when it was found had already spread to his liver and in fluid around his lungs, so unfortunately it was already terminal. Prior to this he was extremely well and in fact his oncologis...

Such fantastic news Steve. You really are proof that this thing can be beaten and an inspiration for all those fighting.

Hope all goes well for the future. Lynx

Good luck for tomorrow Josi. Really hope that the results are good but the wait is simply not good enough when your husband is in pain. Surely they could have emailed the details of the CT to your GP. You shouldn't have to complain to get anywhere as this only increases your worry. Lyn xx

Hello Nikki
We also found our hospice fantastic and it makes it a very special family place where you can laugh and cry in a calm and peaceful place, so unlike a hospital environment.
Thinking of you all at this time xx

Dear Amanda So very sorry to hear that your beloved husband has lost his fight to this dreadful cancer. I am so glad that you had one last Christmas and New Year with him and your children. My husband also lost his fight on Christmas Day 2013 but he was determined to make Christmas and fought to the...

Hi Bluesky and Jenni I haven't posted in a while but I have always wondered why my husband was not offered furry fox only Gembitabine and Capecitabine combination. I did ask our oncologist but he said it was a regime he did not use. I don't think it would have made any difference to the outcome beca...

Hello everyone. I would also like to wish everyone battling pancreatic cancer a merry Christmas. Christmas will be extremely hard for us as a family this year as Terry passed away Christmas Day 2013. We will raise a glass of champagne to a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Although there wi...

Hello Susanna How very sorry I am to hear that your husband has lost his battle with this terrible illness. I am sure in time you will take great comfort in knowing that he was much loved by everyone. I have found that to be something that makes it easier to bear when I am feeling low. My husband lo...

Hello Susanna How awful this must be for you and your family. The hospice told us that something had burst inside my husband and that he would not last the day but he defied all the odds and carried on for 5 more days with it seemed little pain or discomfort.I really feel for you and hope that your ...

Hello this is what happened to my husband when he was in the hospice. I think they do it so that they feel more comfortable but he only stayed in bed for the very last day. I do hope that he is peaceful and thinking of you at this very sad time. Take care x

Hello Julia I thought your tribute and thoughts were so fitting for your lovely husband. I am approaching our first wedding anniversary on Saturday that I have not had Terry with me. I am dreading this more than Christmas Day (the day he died) but I have no idea why. They say time does heal but it d...

Hello I to wrote about the emotional side of this when my husband was ill. He found it extremely difficult to open up and discuss what was happening but I think that was he way of coping. He played a lot of golf and socialised as much as he could but not what what you do or say you never know what t...
