    I have just received the devastating news that I have a large tumor on my pancreas. 
    For the last year I have been losing weight and have had Diabetes but have had absolutely no other symptoms.
    In fact I feel fit as a fiddle but I’m obviously not .
    I had a CT scan a week ago and was told there was an abnormality and I had the agonising wait to be told I have a 8cm growth on the head of my pancreas . 

    I won’t know what the next step is until Monday when the teams at Addenbrooks and Bedford hospital discuss my case . The options are surgery , Chemo or radiology. 
    As you know through the deaths of Paul Linger and Carol Burton that this is a lethal illness and can strike very quickly .
    I’m only 53 , married and I have two teenage sons  and they are incredibly upset. 
    I personally can’t think straight . 
    I’m going to be as positive as I can be under the circumstances but it’s mind blowing to think that I might not be around in a few months as I’m not even sick (yet) . 
    I’m going tomorrow with my two boys as it might be the last time a can go before I possibly have to have chemo. 

    If anything has any symptoms please go to the doctor without hesitation.  

    Some of the Symptom are Weight Loss 
    New Onset Diabetes 
    Blood in Stools 
    Abdominal pain 
    loss off Appetite
    nauseousness


    I’m going to try to beat this thing otherwise who else will do your Christmas TV listings this year !  
     
    I will be praying for your complete healing BA and for courage and peace for you, your wife and your children at this challenging time.

    Horrible news, feel for you and the family. Good news is they now what the problem is, and with luck and treatment, can deal with it.

    Sorry to hear this Beds.

    I got diagnosed (not Pancreatic) last year. Now on the final round of chemo after radio, Chemo and surgery last year. If a lazy arse like me can get through it, I’m sure you will.

    All the best.

    That's terrible news, but there's no point in sitting about feeling defeated. You've got to fight this bastard. Hopefully you'll get some good news on Monday.

    I wish you and your family all the strength in the world.

    That is total crap news and so sorry that you and your family have to go through this. Really hope that whichever of the one (or more) of the three options the consultant recommends are successful in treating the tumour and that in a matter of months you will be given the all clear.

    I’m truly gutted to read your news Beds, but I’m also very sure that this is something you’re going to beat hands down. 

    Stay positive, keep finding those happy little moments wherever you can, and look forward to the day that you’re free from this little bump in the road. 

    You’ve got a very long way to go just yet..!

    That is shocking news. 

    Just one thing; although it is one of the most serious cancers, Chris Rea fought it off, and he was older than you when he was diagnosed. 

    Just wish you all the very best.
