I said I wouldn't post again, but since MN has been supportive I thought it only fair.

We found out this afternoon, that dh has an agressice adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. With treatment a 'good' prognosis would be a a year or two. I know that in practice it will probably be less than this.

Poor sweet man.

My thoughts as a wife and mother are with you MB and your dear family. Have been following your thread and want to repeat what others have said - namely that if there is anything which we could do to make your time more positive, be brave and let us know.

ernest · 05/12/2006 21:06

I also am so very sorry to read this MB: I don't know if you'll ever get to read these messages of support - I hope so. My wonderful mil was diagnosed in January with cancer of the peritonium, inoperable. also talking of paliative care.

She had 6 sessions of chemo. Despite all the horror stories you hear, she didn't feel that bad with the chemo, whereas her poor neighbour had bad side effects. Sure she wasn't out partying, but she wasn't sick or bed ridden, more 'under the weather' type feeling. I guess her mental symtoms have been harder for her to deal with, the shock, the fear etc. But while time is limited for her, she's well enough to enjoy herself, to come on holiday, to visit us. I guess I'm trying to say don't be scared of the chemo if it's offered, it's not automatically bad, he might be lucky too, like my mil.

But most of all the shock and horror we had finding out about mil gives me a tiny incling of how terrible it must be for you when it's your dh and I'm so so sorry.
