I was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in May 2022, I had lost weight and had back ache but nothing really to worry about. I had the tail of my pancreas and my spleen removed in June 2022. The operation went well but the cancer grew back, I have just months left to live, I’m not giving up, I’m touring the uk next week and I have a cruise booked at the end of April, Norwegian fjords here I come. Best wishes to you all 😀 May I just add that I married my long term partner Katy and if you would like to watch about 8 minutes of our wedding that was made possible by gift of a wedding Reece and Kate wedding, we had a fantastic day all thanks to gift of a wedding. Take care everyone thanks Reece.

Was diagnost with pancreatic cancer in 2019, had a stent put in followed by a Whipple good until 2022, now found in liver, tried chemo but the chemo created too many side effects and my quality of life went to almost zero. Now off chemo for 3 months and other than issues with digestion am doing very well and am taking one day at a time. There is no cure, just quality of life issues. At 82 I am thankful for every day. Staying active and positive and wishing everyone the best. Am doing meditation, healthy diet and hiking almost every day.

My dad was diagnosed at stage 4. He had a tumor blocking the pancreatic duct. They mistakenly thought it was a gallbladder problem so they removed it. This exacerbated the real issue which was his pancreas. Although he never had yellowing of skin and eyes. Never had bowel or skin issues. No back pain. He had a strong appetite up until 2 nights before he ended up in the emergency room. He said eating made the pain worse. Which makes perfect sense now. Unfortunately he died 8 months later of radiation poisoning.
Everyone needs to be a warrior advocate for themselves. Question everything. Look into All treatments not just mainstream. Be open minded. Don't give in to the fear. Keep a positive mindset.
Sending Love, Healing, Comfort, Clarity and Many More Blessings to All 💗

My husband died from pancreatic cancer 17 days after the initial diagnosis. What infuriated me is that he was telling his doctor for a year that he felt something was wrong in his stomach, like a balloon inflating and his doctor ignored him. One time at a routine check up, my husband’s sugar spiked. So the same doctor put him on diabetic meds. When my husband took them, he got deathly Ill because he didn’t have diabetes! His sugar spiking, along with my husband telling him that he was extremely tired, his back hurt worse, and he felt strange things in his stomach, would have alerted a good doctor that maybe something else was going on. But his doctor brushed him off. 17 days. We had 17 days from him being diagnosed until he passed. I’d like to ask that doctor if he cared at all. We could have had at least another year together. My daughter had our first grandchild in December of 2021. My husband would have adored and enjoyed that little boy so so much. It breaks my heart that he’s not here. And it’s not fair.

Pancreatic cancer killed my mother 6 1/2 months ago.
She went in for gallbladder surgery and that's when they found the tumor. She was stage 3 at the time.
She fought it for 3 1/2 years.
She lived with me and I was her full time care taker. It was the hardest thing I've ever done.
It broke my heart to see her health deteriorate knowing there was nothing I could do about it.
To watch her take her last breath about killed me. I lost the most important person in my life, best friend, confidant etc.
My life will never be the same.

In 1997 mom developed yellowing of the eyes, no other symptoms.
Test after test came back negative. 3 months later she was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Ironically as mom is in the
doctors office I could not hold back the tears & went outside.
3 women approached me - a Rabbi, Christian prayer leader and sweet elderly woman.
We contacted Sylvester cancer institute at Miami University, but kept mom on list, no appointments.
For some odd reason I felt so strongly mom would survive even tho from social workers to specialists said 3 months.
I refused to accept that & yes I fought the medical world. It was obvious, they wanted no hope, I & family wanted survival.The prayers were overwhelming for her.
Mom was in the hospital when we received the call, an appointment opened at Sylvester for her, but she was too weak to be transported.
Mom, brother and I met with a young Oncologist who looked at he records, , had strong confidence
he could save her, even though the cancer had spread.
Dr Delgado graduated from Miami University, worked at Sylvester during his internship.
Well, mom did survive and were so blessed to have her 12 more wonderful years.

My dad was officially diagnosed with “treatable”cancer on Oct 30 2019 and died 3 weeks later. It was horrible. Greatest man I will ever know❤

[sissy]

The sweetest woman in the world to me passed last year due to this horrible cancer. She was always one of the most compassionate people one would ever meet and a joy to know. To all who suffer from this know you have an angel on your side. Nobody deserves this. Nobody. God bless you sweethearts. ♥️♥️♥️

I was diagnosed in 2019, had surgery and took chemo pills, radiation and had a port put and took the regular chemo thanks to the good lord above I'm cancer free now

[vickigerold]

My husband passed away from this evil, in april 2021. He only lived 3 months. He had all these symptoms. I live and miss you so much Ronny.😭😭💕

In early 2017 I was having what I thought was either persistent heartburn or acid reflux, I had never had either before, so I didn't know what exactly the problem was. Still not sure it was even related, but I eventually had an ultrasound/that lead to an MRI/that lead to a CT scan/that lead to a biopsy/that lead to my Pancreatic Cancer diagnoses. I was lucky to get into a Clinical Trial at the Charles Sammons Cancer Center in Dallas, Texas. Lots of Chemo and other stuff during the trial, and then radiation treatments after. My Whipple was performed in early 2018, and as of this writing, I am 5 years out and still clean! Can't thank my amazing Clinical Oncologist and Surgical Oncologist enough, they quite literally saved my life.

One of the ladies I worked with died of pancreatic cancer at 55 years old. It broke my heart because she was the nicest person ever. From diagnosis to death was less than three weeks.

[kathieb]

So many people with family who have died of this. My husbands died of pancreatic cancer six weeks ago. His was diagnosed three and a half months earlier. Let’s hope for better diagnosis and treatment in the very near future.
