This is heartbreaking. My brother-in-law has just been diagnosed with PC they have offered him chemotherapy, radiotherapy and if the tumor has shrunk they will operate . I'm praying that he will beat this cruel disease. 🙏 R.I.P. Simon ❣️

I've had back pain (left middle) for 2 months and abdominal pain which feels like trapped wind. My GP has done 2 blood tests and said its all OK. Im not convinced and fear the worse. At 48 , I'm scared for the first time in my life

[@squirrellvr79]

Are you going to try and get a scan to see if there's anything there and not take his word that everything is fine?

[@tbunnyshy1]

I am very deeply sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing the signs. I am looking forward to more answers after my EUS.

My thoughts are with you and your family . I was diagnosed Sept 1sr of this year with the same disease. 🙏🇨🇦

[@elainem7722]

Sorry to hear this. How are you doing? May I ask what your symptoms were? My mom died at 67 years of age, 53 days after being diagnosed. Her first symptom was jaundice. Her mom also died of it at 61 years and also an aunt on my dad's side. I don't know about their symptoms because I was quite young. Thanks

Thank you for sharing Simon’s story - like you I have lost my life partner to this dreadful cancer.

[@edlloyd976]

I am genuinely sorry for your loss. I am 78 years old and a survivor of pancreatic cancer, fortunately my cancer was diagnosed early enough and I was able to have the Whipple procedure, followed by six months of chemotherapy. It’s been almost two years since my diagnosis and trust there will be many years more. Again I am sorry for your loss.

Heartbreaking story. But you did an excellent job letting us know what to look out for. Thank you.

I am very sorry for your loss of your husband and thank you very much for your time and patience and thank you for the information. Unfortunately, I have all those same symptoms and I need to go to the doctor. My back is hurting and I have small poop on my poop doesn't come out. The right color it float on top of water is greasy. My urine is also very very yellow and I have yellow eyes.I've been throwing up and having a lot of problems with my spending a lot of gas and I'm scared. But I also know that there are some people that do survive the cancer and I have to just be honest with my wife and let her know you know that it's all in Jehovah God's hands.I do thank you very much for sharing this very, valuable information. I need to get to the hospital as soon as possible.

A very brave thing to do, Tracey. Pancreatic cancer is perhaps the cruellest of cancers.

[@marysaunders1770]

That is horrendous!!! So sorry .

[@leewalsh2428]

This fuck of a disease was diagnosed in me at the beginning of December 2021, I've had the jaundice and still have the belly and back pains so I guess I'm just waiting for it to stage somewhere else and wait for goodbye Vienna.

[@louiseformosa680]

I'm so sorry , and know what you're going through. My mum started with stage 3 breast cancer, which metastasized to her brain, but nearly 7 years later, she is still here, so please stay positive. Will pray for you.
