Hi
71 year old male in Michigan. Diagnosed in Dec 2023 with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor which had spread to the liver. Had hepatic embolization, lanreotide injections, 6 rounds folfox and 4 sessions PRRT. Most recently had tail of pancreas, spleen and gall bladder removed along with liver ablation. PET scan today shows more liver progression so i'm not feeling too optimistic.

Hello Colleen and group.
My name is Kerry, and I was diagnosed in March 2025 with adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas (ASCP). It has spread a bit to the liver, so I'm not a candidate for surgery.

Fortunately, I'm in Chicago getting excellent treatment at Rush University Medical Center, a PANCAN Center of Excellence. My treatment is Folfirinox for 3 days, every other week. So far, I've had two rounds (hospitalized with an infection briefly that delayed treatment).

Fatigue has been debilitating, also lack of appetite and weight loss. I was just prescribed Marinol, which seems to be helpful.

Any words of encouragement would be appreciated!
Kerry
