Please don't read this as it may upset some of you as the 'end of life hours' for my darling Mum were so utterly distressing for me...

All cancer is evil, but Pancreatic cancer is the most cruel - I am 49 and just lost my beautiful Mum yesterday at 2.50am. She IS my best friend and I am utterly devastated. After 8 months of ’stupid’ investigations they finally did a CT scan - result PC stage 1V diagnosed on 24th Aug 2007, Mum was given weeks. My Mum endured a chemo trial and hundreds of needles in her arms for my sake, she fought stoically and courageously. I watched my 80 year old Mum who was a ‘young’ fit and healthy lady, deteriorate to a shell, on Tuesday night she was in agony and I was sobbing with helplessness. Mum was breathless and ached everywhere, she didn’t know where to put herself. I watched her die, she kept saying my name over and over and told me she was sorry as she didn’t think she was going to get over this, I kept telling her how much I loved her and she was the most precious thing in the world to me - but the 'end was not ‘peaceful’ and I cannot get the last images out of my head. My dear beloved Mum………..life is so empty………….
Yes you’re right - someone said - bad things do happen to good people - my Mum was kind and gentle and always thinking of others, she is my soul mate.
I think Pancreatic Cancer shoule be highlighted more as not many people know what a killer it is.
God Bless all of you who have suffered as I am suffering now. xxxxx God Bless you Mum - I love you with all my heart xxx

Judy, I am so very sorry about your mother's death Sad. Yes, Pancreatic Cancer is on of the worst cancers because of how it affects the quality of life and because we have so few really good options in terms of treatments.

I am crying as I re-read your post for the 2nd time. She went through so much!

I did split off your reply to form its own topic since I think others will want to reply to you.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this terrible time.

Judy,

I am so sorry for your loss. My mom passed eight days ago from pancreatic cancer. I am also having a hard time getting her last hours out of my head. This is a devestating disease. I am so sorry. You are in my thoughts and my heart.

Judy,

I know what you are going through. My Dad passed away from pancreatic cancer on March 30. Tomorrow is Father's Day and my Dad will not be here for us to honor and celebrate. It just breaks my heart.

Judy, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Just remember to lean on the Lord and know that your Mom is not suffering any more.

I can't believe how devastating pancreatic cancer is. I watched my husband die of colon cancer and I thought that was horrible. What my Dad went through is beyond description. It is on my mind constantly.

Be strong and i hope you find peace!
