Pancreatic Cancer - Scared for my mom
Hi all. I am new here.
My mother has been diagnosed (we think - as in no biopsy yet - this week) Pancreatic cancer. A scan was done on her liver and it has not spread! She claims the jaundice symptom saved her as in going to the ER. As of now, she is fine - except bathroom habits and jaundice. She was in the hospital for 3 days and got send home this weekend with insulin and a diabetic diet. That is looking to make her feel better (not sure why I am shocked in this). I am terrified as to what will come when she has her surgery - I looked on the internet. It's deff been a roller coaster of emotions for me. I have a great family who is there to support me in this time.
I am happy to join this board because I know I am not alone.
