Today was our last normal day for a while.

We woke up as usual to the sounds of the babies in their cot. DP got up, got washed and dressed,, went downstairs and made his lunch for work then came back up with a bottle for smallest baby and a cup of milk for slightly bigger baby. Then DP headed for work. I spent the day with the babies and the dog doing all our usual stuff. Today was DP's last day at work. On Monday we all go into isolation for two weeks. On Monday 26th Oct DP goes into hospital to have one third of his pancreas, his duodenum, his bile ducts and part of his stomach removed. He has pancreatic cancer and this op is his only chance of seeing Christmas 2021.

I have no idea what our future holds and I am scared.

I remember reading your thread where you discovered he was ill but I never commented. I really hope all goes well for your DP so sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

Pancreatic cancer is ... horrible. Your dp's op sounds so invasive, but I hope it will give him many more years of life. Thinking of you all.

OP Flowers good luck for your partners whipples and take care of yourself so you can take care of him x

Badger2033 · 09/10/2020 22:11

You’re going to be okay, I get that feeling because today you both got up, got washed and dressed, looked after your kids. It’s funny isn’t it how you can hold together normality in the face of an unimaginable situation.

Your DH is lucky to have you on his team and your kids to have you both.

I’m sorry you’ve been dealt such a shit hand.

tillytoodles1 · 09/10/2020 22:14

That's so tough. Positive thoughts and big hugs for all of you.xxx

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 09/10/2020 22:17

My DH had a distal pancreatectomy a few years ago, for a type of benign neuroendocrine tumour. We knew it would most likely be curative, but nevertheless it was a long road, and very hard. I remember those strange last limbo days too well. Thinking of you. 💐

TheMamaYo · 09/10/2020 22:21

I hope it all goes so very well for you all. Good luck and best wishes to you.

Pomegranatemolasses · 09/10/2020 22:22

I am so sorry to read this, and wish you and DH the very best of outcomes Flowers

mineofuselessinformation · 09/10/2020 22:24

I really feel for you.
Hunker down as a family and try to do some things together to make the time special for all of you, if you can.
Sending hugs and thoughts your way. Thanks

thinkingaboutLangCleg · 09/10/2020 22:27

What a frightening time for you and DH. I hope the op is successful and he recovers well. You sound very loving and supportive, which is the best back-up he could have. I hope you have good friends and family to support you too. Best wishes to you both and you babies. Xx

RhubarbRocks · 09/10/2020 22:27

I read your post earlier this year. I am so sorry and my thoughts and best wishes are with you all.
