Pancreatic Cancer Group: Introduce yourself and connect with others
Welcome to the Pancreatic Cancer group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
This is a welcoming, safe place where you can meet people living with pancreatic cancer or caring for someone with pancreatic cancer. Let’s learn from each other and share stories about living well with cancer, coping with the challenges and offering tips.
I’m Colleen, and I’m the moderator of this group, and Community Director of Connect. Chances are you’ll to be greeted by fellow members and volunteer patient Mentors, when you post to this group. Learn more about Moderators and Volunteer Mentors on Connect.
We look forward to welcoming you and introducing you to other members. Feel free to browse the topics or start a new one.
Pull up a chair. Let's start with introductions.
When were you diagnosed with pancreatic cancer? What treatments have you had? How are you doing?

@suelannon, what treatment is being recommended for your husband next?
Hi Marie! I was told to get Prochlorperazine for the nausea. I am going to have surgery after chemo. I believe I only have 5 more treatments to go! I just hope I don’t have too many side effects!
Surgery was on July 15, 2024. He still has a Drain in him due to a Pancreatic Leak.
Oncologist has told us that they cannot do any treatment at all until the Drain comes out due to chance of infection. We go back again on January 5th to have the Drain checked and we have
Blood Work and CT Scan scheduled again for February 3rd and then we go from there depending on if the Drain has been removed. Doctor feels he is still too weak for Chemo.
