@stageivsurvivor I definitely want to achieve long term survival, your story is inspiring! I am getting good reports right now, but it is the sneakiness of this cancer, coming back, that concerns me. I had 8 rounds of full blast fulfirinox, 5 before the Whipple, 3 after, but the dosage was lowered last cycle as my platelets were too low to continue, and so had had 6 wks of delays after the last 2 rounds, still too low after the last round with reduced chemo so again delayed. I have asked if there’s anything I can do to raise my platelet count but have been told that it just takes time. So now have 3 rounds left, hoping to get going again within the next two weeks. If you know anything I should be doing/trying, I’d appreciate it. I have been very fortunate in some ways, the cancer was stage 1, on the head of the pancreas, Whipple went well. But I want to do all I can to keep going, more than a year or two, expecting my first grandchild in February, and my first published book is coming out in 2027. Thank you
