Thanks Emily...appreciate your words of support.
We are into the first round of chemo. Thankfully at the moment he is not too sick, just very tired. However he is starting to look ill. I have experienced cancer previously with my first partner...so I know that look. Before this happened we planned on getting married, today I bought him a ring! We both now wear rings where we would have worn our wedding rings, had we married. I try not to think too far ahead because its just too hard! I don't know what to say here. I just need to let out my thoughts to others with similar experiences.

I appreciate...so much...all the support I have received from people I don't even know. The diagnosis is definitely inoperable pancreatic cancer and chemo starts tomorrow. I'm quite scared as a carer about what lay ahead. I have been told what to expect but am fearful of the days when my partner is toxic. I would like to hear of other peoples experiences.

Hi Rubes
After reading your reply to my blog tonight and looking at your photo I was thinking to myself what a lovely, kind face you have. Then I see that you are a social worker, my partner is also a social worker. We were also planning on getting married and had even bought a ring. Keep positive thoughts and enjoy every moment.

Hi Rubes
Thank-you for your thoughts. I have never done anything like this before. Last time I was going through this I really wanted to talk to someone but didn't know how to go about it. It is very early days yet and we are not sure what lays ahead, although suspect the prognosis is not good. My partner has a very positive attitude, wanting to enjoy what time we have left.
Thanks again for your kind words, and I wish you and your partner all the best.

Five years ago my husband of 30 years passed away from pancreatic cancer. I have three children, at the time my eldest was at university and my youngest was just 14 years old. My husband was never diagnosed with cancer until after his death. We managed to cope through the two years he was ill and have managed to cope in the following five years since his death. I now find that my new partner, who had been a friend since before I was married, now has pancreatic cancer. How can I cope with this all over again!!! What have I done to deserve this? I felt that my new partner and I were 'meant to be' together and now this! I hope to find some strength with talking to others.
