I wanted to post here as I know everyone here will probably be feeling the same... my wonderful 55 y/o dad collapsed, out of the blue, on 4th September 2015. He had been fine prior to this. He was taken to hospital by ambulance and initial thoughts were he has kidney stones or something wrong with his gallbladder. After 2 days of various tests, on 6th Sept (my wedding anniversary) he was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 pancreatic cancer that had spread to his liver. To say we were shocked would be an understatement. We were pretty much left to our own devices after that. A month later, after he had been complaining of backpain, which the hospital had put down to the nasty fall he had, they discovered he had a slipped disc and the cancer had spread to his spine. His tumour markers were in the millions. He had chemo, but passed away this February, exactly 1 month after his 56th birthday. He lasted 5 and a half months. His consultant said it was one of the most agressive types he had seen in a long while. Its been 7 months since his gone and although Ive obviously been devastated, I had been coping okay but now it's really hitting me and I feel very tearful all the time and heartbroken. It was such a shock and the flashbacks of the final days keep playing on my mind. I feel quite traumatised and in disbelief as the whole thing was like a nightmare and whirlwind of craziness?! Its such an awful disease and angry there was nothing that could be done. We feel cheated! My daughter should have had her grandad for many many more years. He was so young

Just wanted to share my story and sleak to anyone on a similar situation. N xx
