    I hope I find you well. I recently received the same diagnosis as yourself and I am interested to know how you got on. What advice are you getting from your medical team? What treatment have your received? What was involved and how do you feel? Ger

    Thanks – met the surgeon last week and I expect to have operation before month end. He advised that if all goes to plan, I should expect to be in hospital for 10/12 days with 10/12 weeks stay at home. As part of pancreas is removed, his greatest concern seems to be leakages. Ger

    Thanks for the advice and kind words of support. I’ll keep you posted and hopefully the surgeon does not find any surprises during surgery and things go to plan.

    Thanks, that’s really helpful. I’m completing further tests next week and following this, I should have a clear idea of what treatment options are available. Good luck with your treatment and keep in touch.

    Take care………..Gerry.

    Ron & anyone who has had experience of surgery.
    I was recently diagnosed with CC and I am now facing the decision on whether to proceed with surgery or not. I seek your advice/experience of surgery. How effective is it? how long does it take to recover? how is quality of life effected? and any other information you believe would be relevant to help me make this decision.

    Thanks………..Gerry
