Hi,
Earlier this week I found out that my mum has pancreatic cancer... she hid the truth from my sister and I for a few days but we both had gut instincts that something was seriously wrong.
she is having a major operation soon to take away part of her pancreas, gall bladder and bowels.
My parents are trying to reassure us but as they never told us of the full extent of her illness earlier, we are fearful that mum is still trying to protect us.
i know very little about the condition but everything I read appears to have a very poor prognosis.
I feel in a daze and lost. I keep thinking back to all the times I was mean to her, and how I could’ve been a better daughter... I keep thinking to myself, this will be the last birthday she has....
I need real facts on the disease, I need to be prepared for the future. If anyone could help I’d appreciate it massively. Friends tell me she’ll be fine but in my gut I don’t think she will survive....
Thank you...... xxx
