Pancreatic Cancer UK

Hi Rachel, Thank you, the support given by all the nurses on this site helped so much, We were also very lucky as there was great support from lots of the members of the forum too, some of us are still in touch 5 years later. This is a wonderful place, that no one really wants to be, but so very hel...

Just a thought as its not talked about enough on here, He suffered with some pain from mid March managed with morphine and paracetamol. Trevor had a good death he was in hospital for 7 days after a delayed attempt to put in a stent/drain, he was then transferred to our local hospice where his pain r...

Hi there, this is a brief synopsis of my husbands journey with PC in 2013 He was diagnosed at the beginning of May, with a growth which they said was a cyst and just needed monitoring so we waited 13 weeks to see a specialist. After a CT scan, 6 later days we got a letter to say he would be having 2...

You helped and supported me so much, and I know you have done the same for all the other posters on this site. I am so pleased your hard work has been recognised. love and best wishes...

Sorry forgot, how is your beloved Boris, I do hope he is okay, and keeping you on your toes x

Hi Mo, lovely to hear how you are doing, sad to hear of Peter's son and the fact that you had to find him so to speak. I pop on here every now and then for a catch up, but its getting less and less now. I am glad you are enjoying life with your new gentleman friend, wishing you best wishes for the n...

Hi Dee,
I am sorry to her about your Mum no longer being well, this is such a horrendous disease, I do hope the hospice at home can help get some stability for you. Just to let you know I am thinking of you all.
take care sandrax

Hi LST, I'm so sorry that this truly horrendous disease took your lovely Mum away from you. People just don't understand how the death of a loved one can affect you, and particularly when the death is much quicker that expected, and the passing so traumatic. The firsts are always terrible first Chri...

Rufus, I'm not in the same boat, but I lost my husband 4 years ago to this horrendous disease, and I do understand exactly how you are feeling. I lost my beloved Dad when i was 17 years old, and he was the centre of my world, Its so sad that your Mum won't be with you on your journey to motherhood, ...

Hi ValJean, Sorry can't help with that specifically, but noticed in your previous post that you were suffering discomfort. Many people including my husband's pain was reduced due to shrinkage of the tumor by chemotherapy. This has to be offset by the reaction that the individual has from the treatme...

Keith, I am so very sorry to hear of the sad loss of your beautiful brave daughter Kerry. This is such a cruel disease, even though it was a shock that it was so quick, Kerry is now at peace. I am sending love and strength to you and the family for the next stage of your journey. take care sandrax x

Ann, I am so sorry to hear you lost your lovely husband to this insidious disease. I too lost my husband Trevor it is nearly 4 years ago now, I still miss him dearly. I am sending love and strength to you for the next stage of your journey, take care sandrax xx

Hi I too rarely post nowadays but just wanted to reply to you my husband had his op for removal of 2 thirds of his pancreas and spleen in September 2013. The care is the hospital was exemplary much like your Dad but the discharge was just as bad. Unfortunately the GP wasn't much use either, I contac...

Saxon, I am so very very sorry to hear of the loss of your lovely wife. This disease is truly insidious it just overwhelms the body, no matter how hard the fight. I am glad you were all able to be with her, when she passed she would have been aware of all your love I am sure. wishing you love and st...

Hi Robette, Thanks for letting us know how well you are doing, its always good to get some good news although I am not sure you would feel having your gallbladder removed was actually good news, but it could have been much worse news. Please let us know your results later on in the year, sending lov...
