Hi Tom,
I met with an/my oncologist yesterday with news that I was not expecting. He told me that I have stage IV pancreatic cancer. The cancer in the liver was caused by pancreatic cells. I believe that I will be starting chemo therapy on Tuesday, April 21 until October. Each therapy takes about 90 minutes. There are three weeks of chemo and then one week off, then it keeps repeating.
The cancer is incurable and also inoperable. I am not sure of radiation. I will ask my doctor.
Thank you mayo Clinic Support Group! You are very helpful
Exercise is good and I see a nutritionist on Monday. I also have a CT scan Monday to get a baseline. Right now I feel real good!
