@jessie59 I take esomeprazole 3 times daily Pepcid twice daily. Also take sultanate up to 4 times daily. SBRT is pinpoint high dose proton beam radiation. I will be getting 3 -5 treatments every other day it was an easy treatment last time. Can’t see or feel any of it. MRI 3 months after wil let us know if it worked. It’s strange because sometimes side effects don’t show up 3-6 months later. Not sure I had any but I am very tired lately. I also have primary in the head of the pancreas. I had severe diarrhea until I started lanreotide. Do you have any symptoms for the Gastrin? What is your ki-67 do you have a multidisciplinary team?

@kevinmonroemi You just answered my question. Thanks.
@kevinmonroemi, thank you so much for responding. Really feel for you. May I know is it too much to take Esomeprazole 3x daily & also Pepcid (Famotidine) as both manage the decrease on the amount of acid produced by the stomach? Will it not increase your Gastrin level in blood test results (thou PPI increases the number in Gastrin level)?
I actually have occasional full stomach pain since 2024 (now more frequent. I was diagnosed as Grade 1, Stage 1 (now surgeon said Stage 4). They are not able to perform endoscopy as it’s unreachable on the soft tissues. Oncologist mentioned unable to treat till they able to ascertain the lesion. Yes, my case is referred for multidisciplinary discussion when deemed necessary by both doctors.
