Pancreatic Cancer Group: Introduce yourself and connect with others
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: 56 minutes ago | Replies (1378)Comment receiving replies
Hello I am Anne, my husband Ken was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the last few weeks. Like all of you probably it felt like being hit by a truck. After a couple of weeks of roller coaster emotions we are now settling in to treatment. He will start chemo soon and then radiation and hopefully then surgery. We are of course very scared about chemo and how it will affect him. I must say it is very encouraging to hear from you who have been through this. I have already learned from your posts and will have a million questions.

Hello @annebauer19 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. It sounds as if you have a plan in place for his treatment and that is always a good thing. I am glad that you have learned from the posts here in this discussion group. Connect does have some amazing members who post about their experiences. Patients have so much knowledge and experience and Connect is a place where they can share that information and those experiences.
I would like to invite some others to this conversation including @marvinjsturing @novak120 @kamnorris2.
Just a few questions, if you are comfortable answering them: Has Ken been given a timeframe for his radiation yet? Has his cancer been staged?
I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you continue to post as
you have more questions?
