My father just left yesterday. 2 weeks after diagnosis. It spread to his lungs and he opted to not do chemotherapy. He was suffering enough and wanted to go on his own terms. I was able to be with him in his final hours and tell him that I loved him, I am proud of him, he is brave, overcame so many obstacles, I hope you are proud of me and one day.....we will be re-united. Shortly after, he passed peacefully. This has taught me alot.....do not take life for granted, embrace your loved ones, tomorrow is not guaranteed, whatever riffs you have with loved ones....squash it, the status and materialistic stuff does not matter, be fearless and look to god and just live your life to the fullest with no regrets. I love you dad, Your son.....David Jr.

Can he beat Goku tho?

[@maxmolly29]

I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer 3 weeks ago and it has spread to his lungs and in 3 weeks he will start chemotherapy but what happened to your dad scares me. We are hoping that his tumor will shrink when he does chemo, which will give us a bit more time with him.

[@mr.p9904]

@@maxmolly29 I wish you guys the best of luck, its a tough fight ahead but remain strong and steady throughout the process

[@imprezaowner]

My dad had Stage 4 Pancreatic fought it hard for 2 years until he passed away on October 7 2021 at 4am he passed away. I’ll never forget that week. I miss him so much This Friday the 22 of October is his celebration of life. He was my hero. Love you dad

My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 6/5/2016 and right now she is in hospice. She did radiation various chemos. Now she has a faint appetite and is in constant pain. She is 59. Please pray for her and us.

I lost my father to intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma😭it was a tough 13 months battle and I miss him badly😭😭love you appa

[@azmomofchaos6791]

Worst cancer ever! My dad is loosing his battle. I'm so sorry for your lose. Thx 4 sharing!

[@2007cgarza]

My dad was diagnosed at stage 4 and only left the hospital to go to hospice. He refused the tube through his nose to his stomach at that point and waited to die. Hospice kept him comfortable with a few exceptions that were corrected immediately. Pancreatic Cancer at this time still isn't usually diagnosed until almost too late, and the end game is wrenching.

I lost my dad yesterday 😢 to pancreatic cancer. I'm happy and honored to have been his daughter.

Big hug for you

[@annnjogu8368]

I just lost my dad to this.seeing him go through so much pain made me tear up each and every day. I miss you dad.

[@Lucia-1414]

My father is dying, just went to the hospice today , my parents had been together 60 years since teenagers, it’s so overwhelming but perhaps more at ease with dying as we don’t want him to suffer any longer.

[@matrixkernel]

Prostate cancer took my Dad’s life. He chose only standard first line treatment and then hospice. It’s a very devastating disease. Cancer teaches to live to the fullest because you just never know.

[@peterwhite5431]

Amen. My 77 year old sister has it and is dying right now - on her last days now. Very sad to watch .

[@margaretesciesinski6601]

My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September 2017 and had the whipple operation too. He has survived 4 years but I think his journey is coming to an end soon. I hate it.

[@margaretesciesinski6601]

Days Kay Thankyouso much, I’m trying :))

[@angelsayazeng]

My mom just left yesterday. Six months after diagnosis... we tried everything

[@mr.p9904]

My father just left yesterday. I am sorry, I can directly relate to how you feel. I cannot describe how I feel right now.

I just lost my father to stage four pancreas cancer on June 20th, a few days ago. It was extremely hard on myself and my family. He fought two and a half years with the disease and eventually ran out of chemotherapy options… He was such a big part of our lives and nothing is going to be the same without him.

[@DMegaTronMD]

My dad had pancreatic cancer. My entire family lied to me about it being terminal. He was the best friend I ever had and I miss him every day. It's been 5 years since he passed and no one in my family has ever said anything about it.

[@tkinsey3]

My dad was diagnosed 11 days ago with pancreatic cancer. This channel and these stories have been really helpful as I process. We have a long fight ahead of us, but I'm glad to know we don;t fight alone.

[@Lucia-1414]

My dad was diagnosed a year ago but I think his time has run out, hopefully your dad is ok

[@tkinsey3]

@@Lucia-1414 Hi, thank you for asking, and I’m so sorry to hear about your dad! Unfortunately, my Dad died from complications just a few days after I posted this comment. He’s been gone for 15 months today. I hope that your dad has many weeks and months left! 🙏🏻

[@FatimaMakesStuff]

His story is so similar to mine. My dad was diagnosed really close to his birthday… found out in may… he died in December

[@sree-cv5qb]

I lost my father too to this

[@funwithhoney8081]

Iam crying I can understand your family's situation😔, may god keep bless you and your family 😌😌❤

[@lynnemiller3633]

Heart-felt testimonial. Thank you, sir.

[@traceymanzano4015]

Thank you for sharing

[@margittasaager7238]

Out of experience I realize that surgery and Chemo are not always the answer. The irritation of Chemo to my partner was a hardship to the already serious pains he was living through. The last days of palliativ and the relieving paintaking medication over his Port were his first painless days and nights in months. I am without him over 5 years and still in grief......

[@truckinstars1336]

My dad had the exact same situation regarding surgery. Went todo the whipple, and they couldn’t do it with the advanced cancer.

[@josieelhajj9831]

My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on his birthday too :(

[@bappaichotu]

losing my brother. He might not make it upto the next three months.

[@tonks9462]

Stay strong

[@__MPires__]

Pancreatic Awareness with only 5.5k views!? This cancer is horrible. Why is this cancer so less spoken about? This is such a HORRIBLE and fast spread cancer. PLS DONATE so there's more research and more clicinal trials. I lost my father to one of the worst cancers almost two months ago. Fought for a year. I cannot stress how mad I feel when I see how little this is spoken off. Scream your lungs loud, this needs more attention. I miss and love my father so much.

[@kimandre6759]

Just learn that my father has esophageal cancer stage 4! he also is my bestfriend, the pain seeing him like this is so severe that i almost try too kill myself.. but we have too be strong for the person who get this illness!
