So my beautiful mum was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in June 2018
She braved a horrible operation called the Whipple Procedure six weeks later as it was deemed operable and localised.
After that mum had 4 months of chemotherapy which had to be stopped as it caused her to have an Heart Attack, then four months later she started to feel a bit better and was given the All Clear in June this year.
In August mums pain had still not gone and she was referred to the Pain Clinic as it was deemed nothing to do with Cancer. Then in September her pain was that bad she was admitted to A&E, 9 days later she had a scan and in October we went to see the oncologist and Metastasis were found on her Liver mum was given weeks to live.
Mum passed away in an hospice at the end of October three weeks later. I can't get my head around it, how can you be given the all clear and within three months be gone. I don't know how mum managed to keep so brave.
I just feel cheated and absolutely gutted, I feel she was taken so fast mum had lots of complications over the last 18 months including sepsis twice and she got through every hurdle she was so strong. She had just finished work and was looking forward to her retirement
Just so sad and it feels like a never ending nightmare
