Yep it's really horrible but you're through the worst of it.
I'm waiting to see whether they will do the surgery because there were suspicions on the PET scan on the chest. If it's spread there then there's nothing they can usefully do.😟

Can I ask why they did radiation first? Where in the pancreas was your tumour and how large was it please

Bless you and hope you will be fully recovered soon x

Thanks.

I got lucky. was able to have spleen and part pancreas removed and it was found not to be malignant. Miracles do happen - just everyone keep positive. Its in the hands of a higher power
