,
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
I lost my Dad to pancreatic cancer, it is such a cruel disease. For many, it comes out of nowhere and due to lack of screening/testing by the time one is diagnosed, it is usually in its late stages.
You need to give yourself some grace and time to grieve. However, the grieving process can certainly exacerbate a chronic condition, adding more physical pain and fatigue.
Please take care of yourself, give yourself (and your body) time to rest and know that this community is here for help and support.
Reach out anytime.
Sending many hugs, Doreen (Team Member)
