I am a 75 year old female diagnosed Sept. 3, 2024, a year a go. I have adnocarcinoma 7 cm long. My Dr. considers me stage 4 with no cancer anywhere else but in the celiac axis, the body and tail. With the 3 scans the tumor has shrunk .5 inches. Dr. said inoperable and I will not servive this. I was on Gemsar and Abraxane but am now off the Abraxane because of side effects. I am now on Gemsar and nothing else. As of right now I am the same as I was a year ago. Dr. said eventually the tumor may reject the chemo. I was told I was getting chemo only for quality time. I am in Palliative Care. (I am hoping this is where you post for Dr. Stauffer)
