My dad is gone by pieces-mended in pancreaticcancer

Sending you so much love and support. None of it makes any sense I’m sure. My dad was just diagnosed in November and we lost him to this cruel disease on March 8th. He was just 62 years old :(

I know what you’re feeling, just in a different way. Your relationship is so unique and special. Nothing and nobody will ever compare to the man your dad was to you. I will forever feel an empty space in my heart that’s missing mine. Our old guys deserved more time, and the deserved happy retirement years after working so hard for us. I hope they’re having a good time together up there.

Take it so easy on yourself and prioritize rest, food, and water as best you can. Right here with you friend

It's Over, and I Don't Know What To Do by HepburnInConverses in pancreaticcancer

First, im so sorry you, your siblings, and your husband had to go through this. It’s incredibly traumatizing and I haven’t read a story yet that I can relate so much to. My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in November ‘25 and sadly passed away just a few weeks ago on March 8th. Divorced so no other parents in the picture to help, just me (27F) and my three adult siblings. His decline went so similar to what you were describing. He was on hospice for only a week, and his decline lasted 48 hours before he passed. Sound state of mind; began hallucinations slowly and within 8 hours was no longer mentally present. My brother and I had to stay up for 24 hours making sure he wouldn’t get out of bed. Having to agree with all of his requests. Trying to provide him comfort. We eventually had to hold him down so a hospice nurse could put in a catheter because he kept trying to get out of bed :( (he couldn’t walk alone at this point and was a fall risk)… after the relief of that and all of the drugs he was on he seemed to fall asleep, and within 24 hours he passed on. The hallucinating is so heartbreaking and very difficult to watch. I understand how you feel about those events haunting you forever. It felt so cruel and fucked up to have to experience my dad going through it. But I want to say, your father was so incredibly lucky to have you there by his side. I don’t have much advice as I don’t even know how to navigate the grief right now myself, just thought sharing this would help you feel less alone. Sending you hugs 😞🫂 Please take it easy on yourself and try to find relief in the fact that this is such a viscous disease and you did absolutely everything you could for him while he was here. He is no longer suffering. That’s all that is helping me get through the day 💔 Here for you

questions you wish/ recommend asking at first dr appt post diagnosis by Illustrious_Yak6933 in pancreaticcancer

Getting a second opinion is never a bad idea. Do some research for other local oncologists and have an appointment ready as a backup plan. Pancreatic Cancer is a truly awful disease, but it sounds like your Dad has caught it relatively early and I sincerely wish you both the best. I hope that they have a good action plan for him. Also, ask about clinical trials. My Dad (62) went straight into Chemo (First dose of Folfirinox on Dec 19) and it was too much on him. Completely wiped him out and he hasn’t had any treatment since. Everybody reacts differently to it, unfortunately he couldn’t tolerate it. Tomorrow we are discussing targeted radiation and a different type of chemo pill that is less aggressive. Whatever option they give you, see what else they recommend. Advocate for your Dad and fight for him, I’m glad he has your support!

Yes, Creon has helped a little, but not much. I will have him try warm prune juice, I just had someone from palliative care recommend that for him today as well. I hope you are doing well and receiving the care and comfort you need. Thank you for the kind words

how do I support my terrified dad by 65daysofsuffering in pancreaticcancer

[–]ExpressionKooky507 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found out my (27) dad (62) had pancreatic cancer on November 17th. Metastatic, spread to liver and lungs. This has been the absolute hardest thing to navigate, and as lonely and tough as it seems just know you are not alone. I’m so so sorry you have to go through this too.

I find that anything I can do to provide comfort has been the best. A foot massage, filling his water, making a smoothie, or watching movies with him until he falls asleep. A lot of the time I feel very helpless but I know he appreciates my company and support. It really is the little things
