@stevm oh I hear you with those Worthers caramels! They were a stock item in his chemo go bag! Thank you for your response. I'm happy to hear from you, we corresponded in the past regarding the surgery and you were very helpful. How are you doing? My husband's next scan is coming up in two weeks, so anxiety is high. He's feeling well and exercising daily. Like you, he's cut down on sweets and carbs and notices the difference when he tests his sugar.

@lisn Thanks for asking. I had scans and bloodwork last week. Scans were good and CA-19-9 was 7. I'm feeling good and starting to feel cautiously optimistic as I'm now 2 1/2 years NED. It took a good year after treatment before my body recovered. I participated in the Pan Mass Challenge in August which is an annual fund raising bike ride in the Boston area in support of Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I did the one day 85 mile ride and I felt great. Although I was treated at Mass General in Boston, I have always been a supporter of DFCI. They both do extraordinary work. I know how your husband feels. The anxiety before getting scans and waiting for the results is torture. I wish him good luck. All the best to both of you.
