Hi @ut3cordova How was the trip to Disney? How are you doing?
@jimde, I also wanted to check in with you, since we haven't heard from you in a while. Jim, what treatment are you doing? How are you doing?

Hello Colleen, Thanks for asking about my status. I have pancreatic cancer, stage 4B, with metastasis to the liver. After 6 chemo sessions with Abraxane and Gemcitabine, the tumors in the pancreas and liver have shrunk and my CA19-9 tumor marker test has come down from over 300 to 36. Only significant side effect has been hair loss. I was able to enjoy the summer spending lots of time on my boat at a lake in the Adirondacks of NY. Next CT scan is Monday...praying for continued good news.
