Today is my DF's birthday. Today his consultant rang with the results of a procedure done a couple of weeks ago - he has pancreatic cancer (got to be honest not an unexpected result, although DF had hoped it would be acute pancreatitis....) and will be seen by the consultant soon to discuss whether or not chemo is worth considering etc, I don't yet know the extent of the cancer, not sure if he's been told over the phone or not.
Feeling sad, and angry too - he's had bowel cancer (now has a colostomy bag), has prostate cancer and some kind of leukaemia, failing eyesight thanks to AMD and survived heart attacks and a quintuple heart bypass. My mum has also been ill, I'm taking her up north next week for her mother's funeral....
2017, you've been an utter bastard so far this year.........
