My world has been shattered. My beautiful father passed away as they prepped him for emergency surgery to treat an infection last Sunday night (a week and a day ago) . He was going to have his infection treated . This is all we knew. They told us the operation was risky and he was a sick man we started making some calls. As I was on the phone my dad was rushed past me and I saw the darling man was in his final moments after suffering a major haemorrhage. I won’t ever forget that final scene with my dad. How can someone who had to undergo twelve rounds of chemo to prepare for a Whipple die a month later from the operation that was meant to save his life or at least give us more time with him. I am just devastated. He was the best dad to me and my siblings and the best husband to my mum ever . A beautiful wonderful gorgeous kind calm gentle man. Absolutely devastated. Pancreatic cancer is horrific.
