Pancreatic and liver cancer

WilsonMilson · 17/05/2023 22:49

Diagnosed today. I can’t believe it. I thought I had gallstones. The liver tumour is already 7cm, I can’t even remember what the pancreatic one was, it’s on the head of the pancreas. They did more CT scans to see further spread but I don’t have those results yet.
I just am in a blur.
My pain has been getting really bad the last few days and I’m worried this is it. I will have a meeting probably next week to discuss the plan for treatment -if any.

I’m not ready. I’m 45. I have a son and a lovely husband. I have elderly parents.

I’ve gone into hyper organisation mode. It’s madness really, but tonight I bought birthday cards for my son, husband and mum for the next 4 years. I’ve been transferring money to different accounts to make it more accessible. I’ve emailed my son’s school, I’ve started writing to do lists.

My mum is flying in on Friday and will stay with me. I’m just so devastated and so sorry for my poor son and husband. I cannot believe this.

I am a reiki master and would like to send you some distance reiki healing energy today if that's ok with you? It is a complementary therapy often used for cancer sufferers. It would help me connect if I knew your approximate location. I can start the healing at any time (you don't need to do anything) and it will still work. You just have to be willing to accept it.

I hope you are well enough to get the stent fitted. Maybe that would help??

I'm so sorry things are so bad.

Your Mumsnet gang are standing with you, your DH and brilliant son.

((((HUG))))

im sorry you've had such a terrible time overnight. Hospitals are great for treatment, but awful for recovery/rest. It's awful when you just want to go home. I cried like a toddler 'I wanna go hooooome'. It's nasty not having your own bathroom.

I hope you're through the worst of that bout.

Let them feed you all the carbs, let the carbs help to sort out the sickness, you can eat healthier when you get home.

you will be going home, you just need to get this 'stent' sorted out & hopefully that'll happen very soon!

I'll leave the praying to others, but I'm sending you SOOOO much love & strength. 💕
