Apparently my friend's cancer has spread: How can I help him?
For those of you who had been following my friend's journey, after his surgery they told us they believed they got it all, wanted him to do radiation "just in case" etc...he's halfway through the radiation treatments and the latest CT scan shows 3 spots in his liver and his CA 19 is back above 10k...so waiting to hear from oncologist about next steps but radiation doc basically said its uncurable and at most prob 36 months IF it responds to chemo..
he is VERY down...he's already thinking funeral plans etc...how can i help him???
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.
I spent time this week with the developers of a new website, Trican.org
This is extremely user friendly in looking for clinical trials. The business model is a good one. Highly recommend you check it out. Easy to navigate. Currently it only searches for pancreatic cancer trials.
he was on gem/abrax...but he passed away last Oct...he opted to not pursue trials etc but instead to have quality for his remaining time, which truly i understood.
