Hi the best thing for my husband's pancreatic pain was a ct guided coelic plexus. Basically they put a needle through your back and into the nerves around the pancreas and pickle them with alcohol - instant success and only takes a couple of minutes laying under the CT scanner. Definitely would recommend it - all the pain has gone

My husband told me to get the 22 and shoot the eagle flying overhead because it would help me make the fruit salad that much easier! It is so hard to listen to these conversations. My whole family is on the other side of Australia at a family wedding and I am here alone again with my rapidly deteriorating husband. This is really hard - I know not as hard as he is having it but it really hurts to see such a strong man needing me to shower him and assist in his bodily functions.
Just needed to get it off my mind.

Hi my husband also has pancreatic cancer - what he likes is to see people and hear happy conversations - stay upbeat and if he falls asleep or wants to leave the room just carry on the conversation and let him be- he really just wants all of you to be happy.
Good luck - this really is a cruel disease

My husband has been on chemo of one type or another for 8 months now and we often get that call that his blood work has fallen so no chemo- now we just embrace it and think great a week off!\
It is all very scary, I am the carer and wife and breadwinner so I know the lack of any real time frames is totally frustrating. Hang in there

Wow I am overwhelmed that I got so many responses, this is a great site and just having your thoughts has been great for me, so thank you everyone. Unfortunately my husband health is no better now with swollen feet and ankles and the onset of jaundice - just another hurdle I guess.

Well I know exactly how you feel, my parents have now spent 5 of the 8 months since my husbands diagnosis of terminal cancer on the other sid eof Australia! I don't think they can cope with it, but that is not fair on me - I actually need their support and again they have supported three other distant relatives through the journey but not their own daughter!
