Thank you.
I’m lucky enough to live near UCLA right now. I was actually looking at City of Hope, but everyone involved told me I needed to seriously consider someplace with a nearby infusion center and I can hardly complain about ending up at UCLA.
Ironically I was happy to finally be losing weight when I got an “incidental” finding of stage IV PDAC.
I’m grateful to have to worry about longer term issues like this bonus diabetes.

pdabrca2 that is so funny! I was on a diet trying to lose unwanted pounds for years when I started to lose weight very quickly due to the unknown presence of PDAC. I was happy to lose the weight too until I wasn’t. My cancer “came back” (it actually never left, was just incorrectly labeled as scar tissue around hepatic artery) after 4.5 of finishing 5FUtreatments. I’m on GAC now and the weight is coming back though my oncologist at UCLA seems pleased with it. I’m going to a work reunion very shortly so I’m trying to lose 10 pounds. So fantastic that you are at UCLA and can see your pancreatic oncologist in person!! I know you will get good care there. I just noticed your moniker says “brca2”! You have a leg up already on PDAC, my friend. I have the ATM gene mutation which doesn’t have the quite the same responsiveness (as of yet) to certain treatments as BRCA. Keep the positive attitude about attacking those blood sugar issues and you will get there.
