Prayers and healing vibes needed!!

[Aingeful]

This is a photo of my eldest daughter( I have four daughters and a son) This was taken in July at Manchester Airport. My two eldest daughters had treated me to five days in Dublin.My eldest is called Dee ( Delia) (55). The whole family has been rocked by the news that she has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She is in hospital and had an op yesterday to drain her bile duct( the tumour is blocking this) They will be deciding how to proceed in a day or two. Being drained by my recovery process from pneumonia I am not capable of going to her as I would have done. The hospital is quite a way away in a different town.I am just sick with worry! Has anyone any personal experience of this? It doesn't seem to be a cancer that many people survive.

Hi Aingeful lovely photo. I am so sorry to hear about your lovely daughter but the treatments these days are amazing so there is always hope. Sending you lots of hugs xx

[Aingeful in reply to hypercat54]

Thanks,we are trying to keep positive .xx

[Blackbird6]

Hi I'm so sorry to hear your news regarding your lovley daughter please don't think about how long other people survived with it .

The main thing is to be positive and let your daughter know your being positive for her .

I'm sure as you say the hospital will decide with your daughter what's the best course of action to take over the next few days and take things forward for there .

Also dont get despondent that you cant be there due to your own medical conditions...she knows if you weren't so bad yourself you would be there supporting her in every way that you could .

I hope things are turned around quickly for you all and look after each other even from a distance

Take care of you 💞💞💞 PS your both very alike 🙂

[Aingeful in reply to Blackbird6]

[Aingeful in reply to Hacienda]

I have just noticed that I either didnt reply to you or replied lower down!Such a positive reply so happy for you! xx

[2greys]

Lung cancer also has a poor survival rate partially due to the fact that it is notoriously difficult to treat, yet there are a few survivors on here, myself included. So there is room for hope.

See if she can get on a clinical trial, with AZD1775, that is showing a lot of promise:

[Aingeful in reply to 2greys]

Thanks 2 greys. She isn't far from liverpool at the moment. Seemingly,they have a specialist team who deal with this particular cancer. It is this team who are meeting soon to see what they can do.X

[Aingeful]

I will try!) I know that it is a tricky cancer to deal with,I've googled it which was probably a mistake! So glad your daughter is well.It feels so wrong when your children suffer doesn't it? X

Thank you.xx

[skischool]

Lovely photo.peas in a pod springs to mind Aingeful,your Delia will know that your love surrounds her and will be comforted by the fact that you are safe at home while she undergoes investigation and treatment and the wonders of mobile technology will mean you are able to hold hands in a cyber fashion for hopefully the short period of time she needs to stay in hospital.

Sending those positive vibes...Ski's and Scruff's x

Thanks Emily. X

[Bkin]

Wonderful picture Aingeful, but so sorry to hear your news of your daughter.

My tutor of years ago actually had her pancreas removed and she was thriving back then. There are different types of Pancreatic cancer and of course difference stages of cancer, so a lot depends on what type and what stage the cancer is, if it is contained in situ or if it has spread to other parts.

I am praying for your daughter that the cancer is contained in situ and that the surgery goes well with clear margins and her recovery is good.

Sending you and your daughter healing thoughts of strength and calm at this time and so hope the news you hear is the best it can be.

Luv n hugs

[Aingeful in reply to Bkin]

Thanks Bkin,that is what I am hoping for too.xx

[HungryHufflepuff]

[Caspiana]

Hello Aingeful . I'm sorry I can't give any practical advice, I don't know anything about pancreatic cancer but I just want to say, the advances in cancer treatment has come along leaps and bounds and I am sure Delia is receiving the best treatment possible. Please heal yourself fully before you go to her. There's no point getting poorly all over again.

Thinking of you during this difficult time.

Love,

Cas xx 🙋🐕

[Aingeful in reply to Caspiana]

Thanks Caspiana,i have talked to her tonight and she says the same. She says that she needs me to be strong. My second daughter is going to see her tomorrow and will give her a big hug from me.xx

[Jaybird19]

They are finding more ways of dealing with cancer now a days. Near liverpool. .? Is she in clatterbridge? They have the team there and so much new is being learnt and they do have a good reputation..

We are lucky in the NW in Clatterbridge and Christies too

Sending best wishes to you both.

[Aingeful in reply to Jaybird19]

At the minute she is still in Southport. The specialist team from Liverpool are meeting on wednesday after studying the scans,biopsy and other tests. Yes we are lucky! X

Thank you! No we don't know anything till the experts have looked at all the results X

[illawarra]

Aingeful it is a stressful time for you not only the shock of your daughter's diagnosis but also that you cannot be with her at this time. I pray that the doctors are given wisdom and guidance as to the best course of action for Delia. May God's hands be guiding the surgeons and that you will have comfort and peace at this time. Love, hugs and prayers. xx

That s very good, I have two sons close by, one next door and one two doors away, it is so great, One in Sydney! Love Iris x

[peege]

You've got mine coming your daughter's way.

Medicine and cancer treatment come on in leaps and bounds so I'm sincerely hoping this is thecase for your lovely Dee.

Looks like a lot of love in your family - do any of you use WhatsApp? You can have a family group, we did that when one year old grandson had a six hour skull op. It was wonderful to get updates, photos and share the love. Also you can video call which is almost as good as sitting next to a loved one - and it's all free.

Wishing the very best outcome xxxx❤

[Aingeful in reply to peege]

Thanks Peege. Yes we have a Whats App Family Group plus each of us has our own private message facility. My family formed a group when I was in hospital. We are also having a group that is just for Dee. I have also managed to talk to her a couple of times.X

[peege in reply to Aingeful]

That's great, it's great to be able support, share the love and see each other xx

[astragal]

Good morning Aingeful

Sorry to hear your sad news about your dear daughter. As others have said there are now many more options in cancer treatment. Various cancer centres such as the Marsden often have trials where new innovative medication can be an option.

I have a friend who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, they had conventional treatment alongside alternative treatment at the traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

Ultimately they came through, the cancer regressed and that was 20 years ago, they are still doing very well.

Each person is different in what is the best option for them. As always a supportive, proactive and competent specialist can make all the difference.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Take care

[Aingeful in reply to astragal]

Thanks Astra gal, those successful outcomes are the ones I am trying to hold onto.X

[GintyFerguson]

That's rubbish news .....hopefully you have a smart phone and can send voice messages and facetime her.....dont give up hope....x

[Aingeful in reply to GintyFerguson]

Thanks Ginty, yes I do have a smartphone. I couldn't cope without it!X

[CELAT06]

Good morning love, so sorry to hear about your lovely daughter, I sincerely hope that the medical team will put in place a brilliant plan to help her get through this. The advancement in cancer research and treatment has improved tremendously in recent years and I think there’s every reason for you to be positive about the outcome. The picture is lovely, and, as someone else said, you look more like sisters than mother and daughter and that’s a compliment to you, not an insult to your beautiful daughter! Wishing you all the best, love and warm hugs. Christine. 😘🥰XXXXX

[Aingeful in reply to CELAT06]

Thanks Christine,we are lucky to live in the times we do? Thanks also for the compliment ! I was a child bride and Dee made me a granny at 41,we were pregnant at the same time! My youngest always calls herself the accident! X

[Aingeful in reply to Louiss]

Thanks Louiss, this medical team have a good reputation.xx

[Ergendl]

So sorry to hear of your daughter's diagnosis. It sounds as if it has been diagnosed while there are still several options for treatment, which is helpful - the survival rate for pancreatic cancer is low because it is often only discovered in the later stages. Sending healing thoughts and prayers her way.

[Aingeful in reply to Ergendl]

Thanks Ergendl.xx
