Experience with
Pancreatic Cancer
about 5 years agoDiagnosed
Oh No
Husband went to Dr with abdominal pain. Thought it was gallstones. Found spot on lung. Started doing one test after the other... Each with worse news. Diagnosed on 8/31 with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. Spread to liver, lungs and lymph nodes. Married 34 years, 2 children and 9 grandchildren... This was not part of our plans... Just getting to stage of our life where things were "starting" to settle. Thought we had a lot to look forward to...Real hard to swallow...
