Hello @steffi2 , I am sorry to hear about your pancreas cancer diagnosis. I am a five + year survivor that worked with Dr Truty at Mayo, Rochester. His plan for me included Folfirinox, and then Gemcitabine/Abraxane, which was followed by radiation and then, surgery. I had a pancreatectomy on 10/23/18. I am cancer free and am fully recovered. I now wear a OmniPod 5 insulin pump and Dexcom G6 CGM. They communicate with each other and it helps me avoid blood sugar lows. You could check out my blog which is more for emotional support for those walking through a cancer diagnosis to healing: RitaAnn.org/blog Peace to you, Rita Ann

Thank you, Rita Ann. It’s good to know there are other paths to long term survival besides the simplistic plan offered to me.

That’s wonderful news kjrita! I always like to hear about survivors! Which mutation did you have? ATM, KRAS12D?

This is so good to hear! I will look for your blog today.

So glad you are NED! And yes, these stories must be out there!!
