Treatment for metastasis to the lungs?
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: Nov 3 1:17am | Replies (20)Comment receiving replies
I had mets to the lung from the pancreas. I have KRAS G12D and TP53 mutations also. The gemcitabine and abraxane seem to work well at reducing the lung nodules and the pancreas tail tumor. Had 44 chemo before I took a "break" but I think I should have taken my break earlier since the CA 19-9 was on the rise before I took my short 4-month break. As I said in another post my CA 19-9 went to 337.9 and is down to 44.7 after only 6 chemo treatments.

That’s very good results. I also have the ATM mutation and I think, just based on anecdotal evidence of the posts in this group, that ATM provides the more aggressive feature to pancreatic cancer as my CA19-9 is rising sharply within a small amount of time. The medical oncologist doesn’t want to do a biopsy on my lung module to verify its cancer and thinks it’s something else but doesn’t know what. I also had a lesion light up in my femur on my latest PET scan so now I have to get a MRI to verify it.
