He had bladder cancer 9 years ago. In treating that they saw a spot on his pancreas. They followed once a year with mri and oct of 2019 the spot split. They had him in for surgery even without doing a biopsy. They took out tail and 2/3 of pancreas. All
Margins and lympth nodes clear. He is going through chemo 12 rounds every two weeks. It just seems like when u tell someone they have pancreatic cancer they look at you as if you do t have long for this world. Did u get that reaction?

@drewgrebe I have gotten the same reaction from others that you describe. Tell someone my husband has cancer, they express their sympathies and ask how things are going,, tell them it’s pancreatic cancer and their face falls and they have a look of sorrow come over them.
