Pancreatic Cancer Group: Introduce yourself and connect with others

Hello. My daughter has pancreatic cancer. She had a whipple in Oct 2024 for continued blocked duct and that is when cancer was found it was staged at 2b. Her recovery from the Whipple was remarkably smooth. Once she started chemo, the journey has been hard. She has been hospitalized numerous times- for sepsis and for pancreatitis. It seems like every time she is hospitalized is a step backwards.
It is hard as a parent to be supportive without being intrusive- although I have stepped over that line. Anyone else in a similar situation?

@ggmama1, I can understand the fine line that you have to walk as a parent. You care for your daughter, but you don't want to intrude or ask the wrong questions at the wrong time. I know you are eager to get details and to know what is going on and how she is doing. Of course, we then ask questions. And questions might not be welcome.

I wonder if it might help to just let her know you're thinking of her. Do you communicate mostly by email, text, phone or in person? Do you live close by?
