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.

martianbishop, friend, I am so so sorry

I am not much cop at the praying bit but with everything in me I pray for strength for you and peace for you DH and for both of you to glean every tiny grain of happiness in the time ahead.

So sorry to see this MB

MB,

I'm so sorry.

I remember when my father was given 6 months to a year. All I'm going to say is that even though you know, there is no preparing yourself.

Make sure you get a good support system or people who can help you and your dh. I know that without the family and friends that surrounded my mom, sister, and I couldn't have gotten through.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 02/12/2006 17:59

MB - have been thinking of you both and hoped you would post again. I'm so sorry that it's not with better news. This must be a dreadful time for you and for the children.

You remain in my thoughts. Please stick around. X

Oh, MB

Can only echo the people who've already said how clear and strong the love you have for your DH is - I hope that you have more rather than less time with him.

Post when you need to - we'll always be thinking of you and here for you when you need us.

Lots of love Hunker x x x x

So very sorry MB, I dont think that I have ever come across any other mnetter on here that talks about their partner with such love as you do.

Life is bloody cruel, I can only wish you lots of love.

This is so sad, I cannot begin to imagine the heartache you as a family are feeling.

please keep popping on here from time to time, you have lots of support here.
