My husband put up a hell of a battle. He was diagnosed in April 2011. The journey took us thru surgery (wipple), chemo, radiation and more chemo. He had a lot of good days and the last week he started to lose the battle very quickly. He kept falling and finally decided to use the wheelchair. The last 2 days we had to lift him from the bed to the chair. His body functions slowly started to fail. George passed away on Oct 24th 2013.

I am so sorry. My husband also had to battle pancreatic cancer He went to be with The Lord 14 weeks from diagnosis. The widow support group helped me so much during my deepest sorrow. God was with me through it all and will be with you also.

Praying for you

I am so very sorry for your lose. My husband passed away in November of 2010, 19 weeks after he was first diagnosed. I agree with Christine the DS widow support group is great, it is what saved my sanity in the beginning.

Hi I am also sorry for all your losses. I lost my husband in April 2013. I am having trouble coming to terms with losing him. I know death is a part of life but it hurts so much physically too. I have to force myself to eat and pretend to be ok for the sake of my children. I know I need help and have to seek it from other people who know the same pain. I do not have the gift of faith so it is especially hard for me.

Hello. My 49 year-old husband passed away 12 days ago after a 20-day battle with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. We didn't get the confirmed diagnosis until one week before. We didn't even get to start the fight before he became critical. The Oncologist told me that it's not unheard of to go from "we see lesions on your liver" to "the cancer has consumed the internal organs". He said it was like a wildfire. I'm so grateful he didn't suffer long, but I'm reeling and still in shock. I really didn't get a chance to process the diagnosis before I was rushing him back to the ER.

My heart goes out to everyone here affected by pancreatic cancer. There just HAS to be a way to be tested so it can be treated before symptoms appear, which almost always is too late. :(
