Re: Scared and desperate
Hi Curly Sue, Thank you for posting your update. Its so good that you are feeling more positive after the consultation, and that further investigations are pending.

Re: My mum - Stage 4 PC with liver mets
Dear Janine, We are so sorry to read about your mum having had a stroke. It is so difficult watching her suffer I am sure. Blood clots, which cause strokes, can be a symptom of pancreatic cancer, unfortunately. Has she had a CT scan of her head, or are they leaving her to keep her comfortable at the...

Re: Newly diagnosed with Stage 3 Locally advanced PC
Hello ValJean, Thank you for your post. I am sure that others will respond to you in terms of personal experience, or experience of looking after a loved one. However, most pancreatic cancers will be inoperable, unfortunately. So, in that respect, there will be many who are in the same boat who are ...

Hi Theresa, Thanks for your post - this is really great news for you. Well done on all you have gone through to get this far. You are a true inspiration Theresa.

Re: Newly Diagnosed
Hi Rose, So sorry to hear the news about your sister, and the recent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer at a young age. It can be very hard to take on board such a diagnosis, and its not unusual to have a whole range of emotions which you are describing. Its difficult to be a "bystander", so to speak, a...

Re: Bloating
Hello Petal, Great news that you have completed your post-op chemo - how fantastic to get through all of that! Did you discuss the bloating at the time of your appointment, or was it not evident then? The bloating could be from a lack of pancreatic enzymes - I presume you are on enzymes? If so, how ...
