Pancreatic Cancer Group: Introduce yourself and connect with others

Hello mchris327,
Am sure you are in shock. It’s a difficult diagnosis to accept, esp. if your symptoms have been minimal.
I was diagnosed almost 3 years ago stage IV and I’m still here! Be encouraged!!
But-no matter how much you “like” your doctor you must have second opinions. From a pancreas center of excellence. Find pancan.org and call them. They can direct you to the closest location.
There are great things finally happening with this disease. But you must get to the right people! Pray that God leads you to them. He will!

@gamaryanne May I ask what chemo regime you are on? I assume you are still on a regime.

Thank you. And I’m surprised that you have stage IV and are still treating your disease. I have reached out to PanCan already and they gave me some excellent advice. Yes I agree with them and you for a second opinion. I will be working with them as well as my care team. I’m being overwhelmed with appointments and information etc. are you working with PanCan? Can you tell me about your experience with them? Good luck!
