Hi everyone! It’s Steve from Sunset Beach, NC. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer in June of 2021. I did one year of aggressive chemo and my response was so good that I was able to have a distal pancreatectomy at Duke Cancer Center in September of 2022. I was off chemo with clear scans for a year when the cancer returned to my peritoneal cavity. I’ve been back on chemo since October of 2023. I was at Mayo last week to have some tests and a diagnostic laparoscopy to help determine next steps.
I’m hoping for a long chemo holiday.

@piedmontsteve Hi Steve and welcome to Mayo Connect. I am sorry to hear about the reoccurrence to your peritoneal cavity. What kind of pancreatic cancer did you have? Please share the results of your recent tests and laparoscopy, if you are comfortable, and next steps. We all learn from each other's journeys. Thank you.
