- How would you react if you were told that you are terminally ill with pancreatic cancer?
This is the heart warming story of Craig who is doing just that.
He lives his life one day at a time with support from his loving wife Joan and his close circle of family and friends.
This documentary's aim is to help raise awareness for Pancreatic Cancer.

For more information about this horrible disease please visit:
www.pancreaticcanceraction.org
At Pancreatic Cancer Action they strongly believe that raising awareness of pancreatic cancer and the its signs and symptoms can save lives.
More than 50% of patients have never heard of pancreatic cancer before their own diagnosis and half the population cannot name a single symptom of pancreatic cancer - that’s why raising awareness is so vital!

My father was diagnosed last month, he has just had surgery to remove half of his pancreas and his spleen.
I pray for you all please pray for my father! ❤
My father died from pancreatic cancer. He went from being mobile and athletic to bed ridden and dead 3 months after his diagnosis. One of the most traumatizing moments in my life. He sorta shriveled up and stopped breathing. I miss him so much. Hug your friends and family...make sure to tell them you love them. Life is way too short.
I’m truly sorry for you
I was told I have pancreatic cancer March 23 this year. I’m just trying to deal with whatever is in front of me at the moment.
Having chemo with good results, but we all know how aggressive it is. Please pray for me.
Hello. How's your treatment going? Ma wee sister has it too. :'(
I will pray for you and please know that The Lord has control and he will see you through it! God bless you and your family
Prayers for you.
You have my prayers.
🙏🙏🙏💞
My dad passed away of pancreatic cancer at the age of 64. He had no symptoms until 3 weeks before he passed away. He was diagnosed with stage 4 January 25, 2019 and passed away February 11,2019. He was put on hospice 2 days before he was supposed to come home. He showed no pain and refuse to take any medication. He showed how strong he was until his last breath. I miss him everyday and hope he is resting in peace. 🙏🏼
Lost my father to pancreatic cancer when I was 12. Horrible disease. I pray that cancer in all its forms is cured soon.
I’m a real cynic but I doubt there will be a cure whilst drug companies make so much money. My husband died from terminal cancer, the NHS wouldn’t pay for one of his chemo drugs the oncologist wanted to give him. Fortunately we had BUPA who were brilliant through all of it.
My grandma died of pancreatic cancer. She was amazing in how she made the most of each day till the end.
My brother passed away from pancreatic cancer. I was one of his caretakers and it was heartbreaking to see him suffer so much. He was autistic and had the mind of a child and didn't understand what was going on.
I am so sorry for your brother x
I am so sorry, please accept my heartfelt sympathy. 💜
I have lost my Father .....because of this horrible disease....I mos my lovely daddy every moment.....
😢💔
God bless him and you
My daughter just passed away from pancreatic cancer after fighting for 9 years. At the end she gave up leaving 3 boys and husband. His knows how much I miss her
So sorry to hear this. Did she have surgery?
I lost my mom, sister, brother and nephew to this horrible disease! 😔😥
I am so sorry you had to go through this. I wish any strength and happiness I have goes your way.x
God bless u 🙏 ❤
If it runs in your family (seems like it does) please make sure to get annual screenings if you can.
My mother was diagnosed in April of this year. She is already gone. It is a devastating disease
🙏💐
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most horrible cancers.My beautiful and wonderful father just passed away recently from it.
Prayers for all of you who had it or has got cancer.my friend is bed redden now patriotic cancer.
My mama got diagnosed a week ago. She will soon start chemo. I am so scared for her.
Jessica Bosarge hello, how is your mom doing ? Mine just got diagnosed as well a few days ago, her cancer is located on the head of the pancreas. She already had her first chemo session (still 3 more to go before surgery and after that 6 months again) and is feeling pretty decent. I am terrified. How are you ? How is your mom ?
RoxanneTLS How is your mom doing? How are you?
😢
I hope your mom is doing alright, Jessica. Sending you hugs and strength.
❤️❤️❤️
My mom's very close friend passed away yesterday afternoon/night at 8:59pm from stage 4 pancreatic cancer.. it ate her up to the point she couldn't even move anymore started getting lumps on her back side ect... and those lumps showed up yesterday the day she died.. which is odd.. it was sad.. that's why I'm here. My mom has pancreatitis which is really bad. She had it since she was 16 when she had me. That organ can cause serious issues if it goes bad from pancreatitis which is extremely painful or you could get pancreatic cancer which is extremely lethal...
My heart goes out to you both and your family, I have just had a two year two month battle against terminal liver cancer with my partner finally losing his brave and stoic battle in May this year.
I like Joan was at every appointment had my hair shaved for Macmillan, after the patient no one could ever know what it like to watch your loved one die in front of you!
I love and miss you Paul and my heart goes out to anybody facing any terminal illness x
pancreatic cancer is terrible. I just lost a friend that was diagnosed with Stage 4 and died 65 days after diagnosed. she suffered a stroke 2 days before she died due to the cancer .
🙏💐
My beautiful mum passed of this cancer had dementia too it's so sad god bless her and all bev
Sorry best wishes to you
my cousin had this condition . ; she was this person who gave her life ....my cousin was so brave.......as I had lost my brother&dad with everyone giving me support. thank you forever and all your kindness & support
I was diagnosed with Ampullary carcinoma 5 months ago & had the Whipple procedure
Doing ok so far
Hello Anthony. I'm curious, did the Whipple Procedure cause you any problems? I'm facing the prospect of having one soon as well, but I'm wary of the risks involved. Right at the moment, the chemo is shrinking my tumour, but unfortunately it is wrapped around a main artery and crossing some blood vessels. I can understand if you don't want to divulge too much on this forum, so if you like I can refer you to a cancer support site that I have joined recently and we can touch bases there?
JD
...Enjoy your life and family every moment of your life. Why this happened? Don't know. In those moments I just wanted to take my son's illness .
Wish we could connect somehow.
I have pnets and probable gastrinomas.
@John Denning I have had no complications to worry about I just take creon with meals
He did so much treatment
My father passed away last March 28, 2022 due to Pancreatic Cancer. We lost the battle after fighting it for 3 months.
My dad passed away from pancreatic cancer when he was 57. It’s a cruel and horrible cancer to endure. I have to ask though, what on earth did the macmillan nurse refer to as sexy cancer? What a ridiculous thing to say
Wasn’t there a book or video called crazy sexy cancer?
My best friend thought he was having a gallbladder attack. He was dead in 3 months. Awful.....
my wife was treated for gallbladder stones but in her last full scan they found a tumor on her pancreas not removable by surgery because of location it is in, during waiting for chemo she went into hospital where she caught double new pnumonia i was called up to hospital she was really ill but she pulled through then when chemo was due she had a covid test which was positive we had to isolate for 10 days its been on going she has lost three stone in weight she now only six stone in weight still awaiting for chemo date as from now really horrible watching my wife deteriate before my eyes got palitive and macmillian nurses on scene but only chemo can really help hopefully to give her a bit more time she is 63
Hope it all goes well for her 🙏
We need more research for this cancer.

@@josephdockemeyer6782 Sometimes, I wish I was high.
my wife passed away on 2nd of feb peacefully in her bed with myself and daughter holding her hands i hope that you can beat it unfortunetly my wife was too ill for chemo after contracting double pnumonia covid chest infection it seems her immune system was so low she caught everything i hope you can be strong and fight this dreadful silent killer
Stay strong xx
Richard I’m so sorry for your loss, giving you hug threw my comment, may you find peace in time.
What a Partner he has to shave her head OMG TRUE LOVE 💕 They are a BEAUTIFUL COUPLE…….
I'm on my 3rd session of Chemo out of 6. I am a positive guy, of course its one day at a time, but why would I give up. The symptoms can be quiet brutal at times, sleeping helps a lot. Maybe I am one of the lucky ones as I have a great team supporting me. Best of luck everyone.
Paul B praying for you Paul. 🙏💕
BIG hug
I wonder if you're still fighting this horrible form of cancer God bless you and God bless your family
I am fighting this terrible monster of a cancer! I was diagnosed Labor Day I'm have spent a month in the hospital out of 3 months they were able to do a bypass from my stomach to my small intestines so I could eat and hopefully this will give me some quality of life in the days I have ahead of me
My mom died of pancreatic cancer in 1972. She was only 52.
My father is suffering this disease plz pray for him..
Use Dr Aluda herbal medicine on CZcams to get rid of your cervical cancer permanently very active medicine, it helped me alot he also cures hpv, herpes virus and multiple fibroids
No Chemotherapy... No Radiation ..No Hospital... Just try to do what I can still do, that I Like ( practicing guitar, working on cars) & set things up for when I'm gone ..I'm not ready yet but nobody can choose when that happens
Alex Trebek lived a little over 2 years after his initial diagnosis with stage 4 pancreatic cancer..
Lost my brother of this cancer 10 years ago he was 35
So sorry to hear.
🙏💐
I lost my grandma of this cancer☹️ If I were told .... I probably cry a lot and I would be very scared.
my brothers wife got pancreatic cancer in her later 50's she lef a very healthy life but she died in 5 months.
So sad I dislike the defeat in pancreas cancer. Rip Craig...it is a deadly disease only a select few survive
I'm afraid no one survive from this cancer actually
@@stephanestephane4291 Exactly.
Not true, it’s true it’s a very deadly cancer. But people have survived it when they’ve managed to catch it early enough (sometimes by luck, as they’ve had no symptoms but it’s been picked up on routine scans for other things)
Craig weighed a lot like my uncle who died of cancer
my mother passed away from pancreatic cancer 13/12/2021, 4 months after diagnosis. It was not operable due to vascular involment. Her last week she stopped eating and drinking. Her last night she vomited blood and then she felt into coma until morning...
I was diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer on 1/1/2019. Did not do what the oncologist suggested, chemo and surgery. I chose to use Rick Simpson oil and did the protocol- 60 grams in 90 days. Oncologist said I had about a year to live if I didn’t do anything. The oil is THC and CBD. It’s taken internally. THC causes apoptosis, CBD keeps the cancer from spreading. It’s nearly a year now and I’m feeling pretty good. No symptoms like before, no pain, nausea, weird allergies... I follow the pancreatic diet religiously and exercise regularly. Never went back to UCD cancer center.
Lynda Austin how are you?
Jacqueline Dibiase I feel fine. No pain, no allergies, food is digesting normally. Blood sugar is normal. No sign of jaundice. I’d say I feel pretty normal for a 77 yr old woman. Thank you for asking! 💕
B A It’s called Rick Simpson oil, or RSO for short. Made from the marijuana plant . It’s 60 %THC, 40 %CBD. Taken internally, not smoked. The protocol is to ingest 60 grams in 90 days. You have to work up to it because it’s very strong. The diet is basically an anti inflammatory diet which is easy on the pancreas. No wheat, no white potatoes or white rice, no sugar, no alcohol, no peanuts, no pickles. This allows your body to work on seeking out abnormal cells and the like and not spending all night cleaning up inflammation. So that’s basically it. 💕
Lynda Austin Thanks a lot for your answer - I appreciate it a lot 🙏❤️ Best of luck to you 🙏❤️🥰
B A You’re welcome. 💕
The same thing happened to my father-in-law
My husband passed away from this cancer
Sadly a lot of doctors aren't up to the standards that they should be . We're just a number to them especially these ........ doctors. It makes angry. You have to see thre different doctors before you get the right diagnosis and treatment m
My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer died 7 days after diagnosis.
So very sorry for your loss
Pray 🙏 to the Lord to please spare me an put your hands on me an heal me
although i am still grieving i still hope you can beat it i am not religeous but you need god on your side best of luck
Death should not scare anyone,it is as natural as birth.
I agree because we begin to die the day we are born. But when a person's life is cut short and they are dealing with pain it is scary.
Pancreatic cancer is fast growing one
I think it's fast once it gets to stage 3 and 4. But they say that by the time you have stage 4 it has been silently growing for years. It's a real fucker of a disease. Lost my ex at 33 6 months from when he was diagnosed.
He live for a year
a lovely but so sad story my wife just diagnosed with stage 4pancreas cancer she was being treated for gallstones but they found a mass on pancreas during her body scan cannot operate tumor too big and tangled with blood vessels she is in hospital to have nerve blocker put in spine but caught double pneumonia while in there so she got to get better to have it before she can have any chemo then they tell me she may not be a candidate for it so to me she just left to die i find, thinking of going down the cannabis route some one got to help her she been given 6 to 12 month survival
🙏
I had the distal pancreatic operation for endocrine cancer in 2008. It is the "good" pancreatic cancer. Some days its not bad but it has had enough times that it seems like 14 yrs.of flu. Weak. Gastroparesses. Gerd every hr.with acid burning th back of my nose! You just have to pray you can stand it!
@@donnathomas3732 unfortunatly my wife passed away in february just went downhill fast no chemo she had no chance of recovery its been a tough couple of months and still is
I want to leave this world since I was a little kid so I’d just let myself die.
5.24? Did that nurse say it's not a sexy cancer? There's nothing sexy about ANY cancer.. Any health professional should know better!
RIP Craig 💜
Tracey it is a phrase used in the industry to refer to the types of cancers that are not seen as appealing in funding purposes. He does not mean to offend, pancreatic cancer research is extremely under funded.
@@WeltonMediaVideos Thank you very much for the clarification.
A better term is "cinderella cancers". This can be used for any illness which is overlooked, due to gender, prevalence or morbidity. For some cancers the results were extremely heartening - survival rates at five years for breast cancer was around 84 per cent; there was a similar result for skin cancer.
But for other cancers, the so-called ‘Cinderella cancers’, the statistics were not so positive - around 11 per cent for lung cancer; 15 per cent for cancer of the oesophagus; five per cent for pancreatic cancer; 13 per cent for brain cancer.

I have pancreatic cancer also
You have my prayers Mary.
Hey Mary I’m wishing you the best.
🙏🙏🙏
I hate cancer
Is he dead now? I'm sorry but CZcams put a bunch of these in my feed as some die in my family, I'm sick of it so I leave this in hopes they stop.
Yeah hes Dead
I would kill myself if I was told I had pancreas cancer that had metastasized. It's one of the most painful ways to die. Much rather jump in front of a train or overdose on heroin.
Why make comments like this? Do you really think this is useful or helpful????
@@terrifoster2525 yes, yes I do. Some may not know what they're in for after their diagnosis and deserve to have options that are not just to die a slow agonizingly painful death.
I was very recently diagnosed.
I dont enjoy reading comments suggesting that I give up and off myself. .Apparently, you dont have this awful cancer and yet here you are, making sadistic suggestions.
Better get your brain and heart checked out because neither organ seems to be working properly.
@@terrifoster2525 agree but at the same time you can't really hide from the awful affects of this condition sadly. No point in not being honest with yourself .it doesn't change anything.i don't have it but if it were me I wouldn't want to have a false sense of security and would prefer to have the truth of the situation hard as that is.i wish you well obviously.
@@terrifoster2525 my "sadism" as you so crudely put it, is a direct result of our unfair right to euthanasia law(or lack thereof), I would have much rather been in a position to say that I'd opt for euthanasia in the event I developed Pancreatic Cancer but the state of our country and many more around the world means I dont get to die with dignity and instead would have to commit suicide which is not dignified in any sense other than me getting to choose when I die which we all should have the right to do.
How old was Craig
44
I have pancreatic cancer right now, I’m going for surgery in 2 days as to where they are going to remove part or all of my pancreas, I don’t care if I die, I’m one of those people who were born with very limited emotions so if I live I live if I don’t that’s fine, it’s probably for the better.
Hi. I wonder how you fared with the surgery. I hope you will be a survivor.
@@russellbenney7605Just saw this, I’m still alive. I had surgery the surgery June 21, I am literally just now feeling better and able to eat almost normal. The recovery is brutal AF, ALOT of suffering and barely eating. I had muscle degeneration and am still weak, I lived in Tums and pain killers for quite awhile. I stopped oxycodone because of constipation and used advil but took so much advil I ended up with gastritis from the advil on top of the whipped pain.
I lost 3/4 of my pancreas and still have to get checked every 6 months. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, it may take awhile but hang in there.
Sexy cancer?? That was very poorly worded. Cancer is never sexy.
Alex it has often been called that. It’s not to offend it just means that it’s not a cancer that gets all the headlines, publicity or support.
What cancer is sexy?...duh
It’s a phrase used to highlight the more ‘attractive’ cancers that get all of the funding for more research.
It seems people need to drink some OREGANO and SPEAR OR PEPPERMINT TEAS.Some people say CBD and THC could tackle this Pancreatic disease as well..At this stage you gotta throw anything at this horrible cancer. Research says that Oregano,Chamomile and Mint teas does help with preventing this type cancer from taking place. Good Luck and God Bless to you all!...
What research? Where?
@@im2cuteferu
There's is nothing to confirm that Oregano and Cruciferous vegetables will reverse the disease...The only thing it says that These items from teas and cruciferous foods are good for Pancreas...But there's nothing to confirm that it will heal your pancreas...
You could try Long Days fasting aka "AUTOPHAGY" that could help fight off cancer cells..
For sure Cancer cannot survive without Carbohydrates feeding from it.So avoid Sugars and refined carbs and perhaps even limit yourself from eating much of complex carbs as well.This could be a way to starve and eliminate the cancer.
This doesn't sound easy tbh...
This posting is of husband ex rodica ghinea ok picture of here on this video please my family members trace this posting she trying to claim she me ok at beginning of video shows ex girl friend rodica ghinea ok proof of her stocking me and harassing me showed her picture at beginning of video this trueth watch it D Diaz please
