She tried cutting out certain foods from her diet, but decided to head to the doctor in February when it still hadn't cleared up. There was a three-week wait for the appointment and they thought it would have cleared up by then, but it hadn't.

Pancreatic cancer is caused by the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells in the pancreas, a large gland that's part of the digestive system. Join the UK's most-loved farmer, Adam Henson, on a fascinating journey around the farm. In this interactive non-fiction book, with over 40 flaps, you can discover where food comes from, peek inside a combine harvester, and uncover incredible facts about popular farm animals.

In the early stages, a tumour in the pancreas does not usually cause any symptoms, which can make it difficult to diagnose. Around half of all new cases are diagnosed in people aged 75 or over. It's uncommon in people under 40 years of age.

By March, they were really starting to worry and Charlie says in the Daily Telegraph: "I’d gone to a friend’s house for lunch to watch Cheltenham Races on television and it was the first time I confided in others. Only Adam and my close family knew I was unwell at this point, but I’d had a really bad morning and couldn’t cover up how I was feeling." It's important to remember that these symptoms can be caused by many different conditions and are not usually the result of cancer. Having children with Adam was our commitment to each other," she says. "A wedding had never been important. Now, suddenly, it was the most important thing in the world. It’s ridiculous but I really, really wanted everyone to know how much I love Adam; most importantly, I wanted him to know. It was suddenly such a big thing." The next day, they said their tearful goodbyes as Charlie went in for her Whipple procedure. Adam felt "helpless" watching her walk into the hospital alone due to restrictions. The operation involved removing parts of the pancreas, gall bladder and duodenum. Adam was told that if anything went wrong during Charlie's operation, he would be called to the hospital immediately. So, when he got a call at 4.30pm saying it had gone well and his wife was "stable and in recovery", he was relieved. Adam shared: "The whole experience was brutal. Watching her suffer was heartbreaking. But since then, we have made a point of doing lots of things together. Travel is something we both love and we've tried to fit in as much as possible, to Japan and elsewhere. And our Christmas in 2021 was the best of my life."yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice) – it also may cause dark yellow or orange pee, pale-coloured poo and itchy skin
