I'm a long term survivor -- luck. I was diagnosed with the most common kind of pancreatic cancer in February 2016. I was borderline for the surgery but had the Whipple procedure in July 2016, and for the following 9 plus years my status has been No Evidence of Disease.

I had 2 positive lymph nodes after my surgery, so was deemed at stage IIB.

The outlook looked grim at various times. We all must take it one day at a time.
