I decided to share a bottle of wine with my lovely husband this evening, he poured, I went to go and get another glass. I don’t know what to say! We both knew we go through wine fast in the house but we can make a bottle of wine last 2 days if we take it home from a restaurant.

Why did it never occur to me to check how much wine our wine glasses hold? He’s used 2 375ml bottles of wine for 2 glasses. BECAUSE THATS HOW MUCH OUR WINE GLASSES HOLD!! Im horrified!! I’m already dying of stage 4 cancer so it won’t do much harm to me but to him!!

This one glass of wine is an entire 375ml of wine and it’s been a really really bad day so I’ve already finished the glass. Fuck me!

WIBU to not check how much wine our wine glasses hold? He always pours the wine (he’s the aficionado) and he always pours it to that level. we’ve probably annihilated bottles of wine in 2 glasses!

Fuck me im thick please make me feel better.

I didn't know you could have your pancreas removed.

Main stay treatment for pancreatic cancer (just end up insulin dependent, unless its a partial resection

Nor did I. I thought that’s why pancreatic cancer is so bad because the offending organ can’t be excised.

It can. I have a pancreatic cancer gene and stage 4 leiomyosarcoma. The pancreas removal is in addition to the hipec surgery which they will do at the same time

Surgeons cannot have long fake nails. Just stating the obvious.

Sorry. Do I need to state the fucking obvious? I’ve been off work for 6 months having chemo. I am a surgeon and because im off sick with cancer I can have long nails. Sorry to piss on your chips there…

Another great thing is all those dreams that you’ve had where you accidentally turned up at work without your trousers or skirt will come true when you walk in to work with a hospital gown and no knickers on!
🤣🤣🤣

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 06/05/2025 21:35

I am so sorry about your diagnosis @sellotapechicken
I don’t think today is the day to worry about the size of your wine glasses. I hope everything works out for you - good luck with your surgery and ongoing treatment x

Oh my god! How dare you try to cheer yourself up with long nails whilst off sick! Self flagellate immediately!

I had surgery on an anal fistula.

2 weeks later I attended a charity event with a friend for colorectal cancer.

who happens to be head of the charity - I was impressed he recognised my face BlushBlush

sellotapechicken · 06/05/2025 21:37

I have great nails at the moment, im trying to make the best of a shitty situation! No one would be working full time in my job with my stage of cancer. I hope to go back to being a surgeon after this but im
aware it might not happen. Still doesn’t stop me being a surgeon though

Enjoy your wine, quality of life while you can enjoy it. You are not thick, I have a masters degree and if it makes you feel better I thought birds had four legs 😢😩😩😩 until my colleagues looked at me in dismay. Xx

I have a great bedside manner.. to my patients. I also have fantastic outcomes. However I don’t need to justify myself to you. I hope you have a nice night.

Her descriptions of treatment sound eminently plausible. And, unlike the average troll, can actually spell the long complicated words that spell checkers hate.

I am sure her medical degree did not include measures of wine.

Really hope you are well soon. You have to go through alot, it a massive ordeal you are about to endure. Are you not in the uk? as working colleagues cannot operate on their colleagues in the uk, as it's seen as a conflict of interests. All the very best to you.

Oh and I am a surgeon who does this operation weekly so I really do know everyone who will be doing the surgery.
I decided today to agree to it as they think they can cure me but I swear to god I never expected my actual colleagues would be up close and personal in all my business. At least I’ll be out cold

My aunt had a similar amount of her (as we refer to them) innards removed for a similar reason. Cancer that started in her appendix and decided to spread like Lurpak on a hot crumpet.

She had her appendix, gallbladder, some bowel, and a load of other bits that I can't remember removed, followed by chemo.

She got her ten years all clear at The Christie a few weeks ago.

It was a long shot - but even long shots can be pulled off.

Good luck with your surgery.

Nor did I. I thought that’s why pancreatic cancer is so bad because the offending organ can’t be excised.

It's so bad because it doesn't really cause many symptoms when it first starts, meaning by the time it is detected (because of the symptoms) its often spread too much over the rest of the body and becomes inoperable quickly. It also grows rapidly so the time from detection to death is often not long. That and to have your pancreas removed you have to be incredibly fit as it's massive surgery with a long recovery so not suitable for old/crumbly patients

But yeah you can "easily" live without it, with the aid of digestive supplements and insulin
