I had the same chemo treatment last year. Same side effects but it got me out of the hospital.
From there they went to PRRT, which was only one day every other month, and not hard to tolerate. That evidently reduced the pancreatic tumor to where they decided to do surgery after all.

Unfortunately I also have disease spread to the liver, so I wonder if the surgery really did much good or just bought a little time. At this point some clinical trial my be my best hope as the oncologist seems out of answers. He seemed uncertain last time I saw him and postponed our next meeting.
Anyway best of luck.

Thank you! And yes I have run into oncologists who have run out of answers but the one at Duke has encouraged me as was just referred to him.

Thank you for your comments, @zacharycat . You might want to look at @markymarkfl 's response from May 19 about a newly emerging technique to address liver tumors: "histotripsy". All the best to you!
