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.

I've open this thread twice and read what others have put.
I've never meet you or your family but it brought tears to my eyes.
I hope that the time you have left together is as happy as possible for all of you.
Much love sent to you and all your family.

To squeeze a lifetime of love into a year or two then, MB, to maybe love like others never love. Take care MB and dh.

WeFrizyouamerrychristmas · 02/12/2006 21:56

really sorry to hear this, was hoping for a much better outcome from reading your last thread very sorry. Don't know if this will help, but when MIL had terminal cancer, half way through her treatment our family found the money to switch her to private treatment, which made the experience more comfortable for her, and she reckoned kept her alive longer than predicted too.

gomez · 02/12/2006 22:01

I am so sorry.

Dreadful news, mb, our brave, clear clever, loving and principled mb.

Poor lovely man, and you, and your children.

I am supposing he is in hospital at the moment? Or is he able to b with you at home at this hardest of times?

mb, just know that wherever you could put a pin in the map of the country, somewhere very near that pin will be a MN-er sending you thoughts.

Be here or not, as you need, we will be thinking anyway.

XXXXXXX
