hi, my grandad was diagnosed with stage 1 pancreas cancer today. The cancer has not spread anywhere else in the body which is the positivity we are clinging onto. My grandad is 80 and so well and fit, probably fitter than most 60 year olds he is truly marvellous for his age. Which is why this news has come as such a shock to my family today. 

I was just wondering if anyone has had or knows anyone with pancreas cancer as it would be comforting to hear positive stories. 

The doctor told us that it's not a good place to get cancer but the good news is it hasn't spread. They are starting him on chemotherapy ASAP. Either Monday or Tuesday to try and shrink the cancer. 

I just wish we knew how much time we have & if it will shrink and keep the cancer under control. 

I know there's people a lot worse off but I'm really struggling to accept the news we have received today. 

I would really appreciate people sharing their thoughts x
