Hi everyone Paul here from the Isle of Man

I was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma in the tail of my pancreas in Oct 22. I am now receiving chemo 12 cycles over 6 months.

Good luck from me too @Paul 1953. Bad enough having chemo without the added difficulties of the big D. Best of luck x

Best of luck with the chemo Paul from a fellow Manxie, (just one that got away and moved across)

The forums is a fantastic place to get some practical and also emotional support and just to get to know other folks who understand at least the diabetes side of things without having to explain it every time.
