My dad has had pancreatic cancer for a few months now and it’s gotten a lot worse. He’s constantly in pain and he seems like he’s lost hope. There’s nothing I can get him that will make him feel better physically b/c messages or creams wouldn’t work on his back.. He’s also been really depressed these past few weeks.. Do you guys have any idea what I can get for him that would be appropriate and also cheer him up a bit?
I was thinking of getting him something to pass the time with like a movie or a book, but he looks too tired to watch or read..
I’m gonna get him flowers for sure, but I want something else as well..

I had an ultrasound and it showed a fatty liver and pancreas. But the pancreas concerns me because pancreatic cancer runs in my family. Is there a chance it’s that? What other things can cause a fatty pancreas? I’m a 14 year old female. I DO NOT drink or smoke etc. Please if anyone has any answers it would be helpful. Thanks.

I am a 32 year old male with fair skin. For the last 2 weeks, I have had a sensation that is identical to sunburn on the back side of my left shoulder. I can localize the area to about a 1×2 inch size, and it is slightly more painful in the center. Touching it or my shirt rubbing against it increases the pain. I haven’t noticed anything that helps. The area of skin looks completely normal, although I do have something like a skin tag or pimple within the area that recently scabbed over (I have some acne like lesions over my upper back, and have had them for a long time). The skin is smooth, no bumps or dryness. The pain is light and normally I only notice it when I am doing something like reading a book. It feels exactly like a mild sunburn.
I do not have any unusual health problems other than ulnar neuropathy (numbness) in my left arm affecting my pinkie and ring finger which began about a year ago.

I’m going through a lot of personal struggles, and I’m trying to get back into school. I’m very nervous, anxious, don’t know what to expect, & feel like pulling my hair out, banging my head, or screaming sometimes. I feel so sluggish. I know I need to study the GRE & study my Spanish. I feel SO overwhelmed!
I try as hard as I can, but I feel like I’m procrastinating. Maybe I’m not giving myself enough credit for the work I HAVE been doing. I’ve accomplished quite a bit with my daily goals, but it’s becoming dreadfully a struggle. I’m wondering if I’m so stressed that it seems like my Clonazepam feels like it’s no longer effective. I take 4mg/day. 1 guy told me that’s pretty high.
I suffer OCD, anxiety, depression, & Tourette’s. I’m in the process of looking for a new psychiatrist who will accept my insurance. I don’t want to bail out or quit. I want to strive for trying to @ least prepare myself for the graduate program to receive a MA in Linguistics, teaching ESL. I have my BA in Spanish, but I’m not yet fluent because the program didn’t adequately prepare me for fluency. If I succeed in my MA program with studying in Mexico for a yr., I’ll most DEFINITELY be fluent, from what I was told.
I don’t know why I feel like I’m rushing things, which is increasing my anxiety. & also, my parents are terminally ill. Mom with shingles & dad with pancreatic cancer. My dad is 78, & mom is 61. Family doesn’t speak to me because I was a foster child since infancy, as well as my twin. They don’t accept me, but they accept her for being thuggish. I’m career & goal-oriented, & my family thinks I’m dorkish & crazy for that. I had 2 strokes @ age 5, & they think I’m retarded. I’m not.
I just feel like crying right now. I’m supposed to moving into the dorms @ my university in Jan. for Spring semester. I’m considered a Post-Baccalaureate student. My neighbors are driving me up the wall every night (can’t wait to leave!), & I’m intimidated by my landlord & the cops. Good thing I have a couple of friends & mentors to help me manage this, but I have NO family to turn to. They make whatever issue I have 10 X worse & LAUGH! They’re cruel.
Sometimes it feels like I have NOBODY, when I do have a few people. But they can’t be here with me 24/7. I need to manage this on my own. The cops in my town are bullies, just like my landlord. I know that if things get taken to court, that will affect my academics & hold me back. The mental health clinic & counseling center here do me more harm than good. I walk out the clinic, feeling the need to make a grievance against them about something harsh the case manager or counselor has said to me, or they blame me for my problems. What kind of SUPPORT is that!? I’m trying to look for a private psychiatrist ASAP. But I’m afraid that the meds they put me on will make me gain more weight & sleep excessively, & I can’t afford that. I’m also stressed because I can’t find a job.
Everything I’ve been going through, I was told to document it, take pictures, or do whatever for proof & evidence.
I’m having problems everywhere I go. The bus driver acted rude with me, & that triggered off a Tourette’s outburst, & now they’re making threats to not let me ride the bus. I need a job & a car. But with a car, I’m afraid to drive here because of people driving recklessly, & once again, the bully-fied cops.

Bearing in mind in any slim (only 10% of people survive a year from being diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer) attempt to try and save your life you need to attend doctors and hospitals to receive treatment.
