I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, Louie.
You managed to have Christmas dinner with her and that is something good to remember.

It sounds as though you are strong, just like your mum.
Thinking of you and your family,

Hello Rachel and Laura, Just a little note about Creon. The pancreas produces enzymes which pass into the intestine to digest your food. Creon is a mixture of enzymes which can be taken to increase the levels of enzymes in the gut when the pancreas isn't working properly. Your food can then be diges...

He fought long and hard against his pancreatic cancer.
Rest in peace, Steve Jobs.
I suppose the article said "a form of pancreatic cancer" because it was a neuroendocrine tumour which is much rarer than adenocarcinoma which is the commonest form.

So sorry to hear about your mum.

How much Creon does your mum take?
I know it's very variable how much each individual needs.
I take 5x10,000 capsules with a meal and I have no pancreas. Some people take much more.
Best wishes,
Anne.

I'm afraid I can't give any advice, only sympathise. I had a Whipple's in December which was a completion pancreatectomy. I've been recov...

So sorry to hear the news about your husband.
Sincere condolences at this sad time.
