Hi Linda, thank you so much for your lovely reply. I'm so happy to hear that after finishing your treatment your cancer has gone, what great news. Yes every year is a bonus for us all isn't it, I'm sure you'll have many good years ahead, it's a battle I know but you've done so well, as you said each year is a gift. Take care and keep well, Marg.

Thank you for your kind reply Paul, yes how ironic is the date that you had your surgery. I wish you all the best and I'm sure your 10 year anniversary will be a milestone like mine was yesterday. Take care, Marg.

Hi, I've been sitting here at home on my own remembering where I was 10 years ago today, I was undergoing a very long operation for pancreatic cancer and I'm very lucky to be sitting here writing this now. No one else in my family, or close friends, remember this day which is ok, life goes on for everyone. Actually my family don't even talk about it with me, it's like it never happened, strange in a way but maybe that's how they deal with it. I wish it wasn't like that though, not that I want to dwell on it and repeatedly talk about it of course. Anyway for me though it's different as many would understand so I felt like sharing how reflective I'm feeling at the moment as life after cancer can still affect you but I'm very thankful and lucky, I wish everyone well with whatever journey they are on. Take care, Marg.

Hi Fergie, thank you for your message and that's such great news about your 5 year mark! Yes it's not always a death sentence thankfully, even those at first being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer it felt that way. Good luck to you also, keep well now and into the future, Marg.

As an 8 year survivor of pancreatic cancer I'm so happy to finally hear that pancreatic cancer is in the spotlight more. More funding from the government has been great news, the prospect of a pancreatic cancer nurse through donations and many more things, big or small. Even in my small town there was a special night recently at the local pub dedicated to the cause. When I went through my surgery and chemo and then for nearly 6 years of regular testing I never met anyone or knew of anyone else going through the same cancer. Now with it being spoken about and hearing of other survivors as a result of it being put out there is such a positive thing. Keep up the great work Pancare Foundation and the Avner Foundation also, and hi to all the other survivors who might read this.

Hi I'm Margaret. I guess I'm trying to maybe find someone that might be going through.....or has gone through......a similar side effect that I've been living with for nearly 8 years. I had a distal Pancreactectomy and Splenectomy procedure in June 2011 for quite a rare tumour. Have been living with malabsorption problems since my surgery despite taking Creon, main problem being this has changed my life considerably as it has caused a lot of ongoing bowel problems. Have had tests and tried everything suggested to me and more. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar and possibly provide some suggestions. Thank you, Margaret.
