Over the last couple of weeks his skin and eye whites have turned yellow, he also has dark urine which has not improved despite upping his fluid intake by at least an extra 2 litres a day, he is more tired than usual too. I don't want to scare myself witless and Google. He has called the GP and is having blood tests tonight.

That's very sad to hear; I'm so sorry.

StopGo · 20/07/2020 15:21

I'm so sorry you've had bad news. I didn't dare post before as DH went through the same mid lockdown. Stay strong.

thesedaysarescary · 20/07/2020 15:28

Hope you're ok I've been following your post and hoping for a good outcome for you and your Dh.

Chocolatedeficitdisorder · 20/07/2020 15:30

Sorry OP. I think you knew what was coming.

I hope that he is offered some treatment that will help you both in the coming months and that you have the opportunity to spend quality time together.

Take care.

My best friend (bloke aged 69) has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with similar symptoms. I do hope your dip is ok.

Climbingallthetrees · 20/07/2020 15:34

I’m so sorry to hear that. Have you begun discussing a treatment plan?

thegreylady · 20/07/2020 15:37

Sorry I just read your update. My friend has had a stent put in to drain the bile duct and he has been sent home for a couple of weeks. He has been told it isn’t suitable for surgery and will start chemo soon.

schoolrummum · 20/07/2020 15:45

I'm so so sorry OP. I unfortunately have experience of this and all I can off is my sympathy. If he's eating and drinking you can keep up his strength so he can walk into that clinic and get treatment to prolong his life. I really wish you all the best and hope you get the best possible treatment. Thoughts are with you x

justasking111 · 20/07/2020 15:46

Ah tough one, thinking of you both.

TiddlesUpATree · 20/07/2020 15:48

So sorry to hear that. When in a similar position I found the Macmillan community forums really helpful. Much love x

toastfiend · 20/07/2020 16:04

I'm so sorry to hear this, OP. No advice, and no words that seem adequate, but I'm thinking of you and your partner.

catchingzzzeds · 20/07/2020 16:05

I'm sorry you're going through this, sending you strength. Be kind to yourself.
What has the consultant said?
