Get a new doctor. There are so many survivors that I have read about with situations similar to yours. Please don't give up. I am reading a book now that presents attitude, exercise, meditation, and other helps that YOU have control over. (Ian Gawler, "You Can Conquer Cancer"). It has helped me immensely (peritoneal carcinomatosis), both with prolonging life and enjoying life. But I know how you feel--it has been 2 1/2 years since my diagnosis with pancreatic cancer (now metastasized), some chemo and the Whipple. I repeat to myself--"I am so fortunate to have a profound sense of wellbeing." I'm so glad you are appreciative of what you have--that will make a huge difference in your survival--please hope. Courage, Carrie

Carrie, Thank you for the book recommendation . It’s on my list. We share the same diagnosis. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to find kindred spirits to commiserate and share feelings. Thanks for reaching out. I appreciate your support and advise.

Thank you for this response. My husband is in the same situation and the medical professionals do not understand the importance of emotional support and encouragement. I will pick up this book. Hopefully it provides us with support on how to deal with this with hope.
