Hi my name is Mary. Most important, God Bless you all and thanks for any feedback, thoughts, encouragement to come 🙂
My partner Lynne was diagnosed with PC July 2025. The tumor was local (@ 3.0 cm), no metastasis then or now (latest PET in 3/26 showed no spread). Could not have surgery immediately due to arterial involvement/proximity. She had 7 Fulfurinox treatments July - Nov 2025. Then targeted MRI radiation (5 days). Consultation with surgeon at Miami Cancer Center (Dr. Asbun). Tumor shrunk somewhat, but Unfortunately determined not enough for surgery to move forward now. So currently in 2nd round of fulfurinox (5 treatments). Early June will have scan and reassess.
Live in Southeast Florida/Boca Raton
Wondering if we're doing the right thing, seems to be right at this point, but hearing a lot about new trials and treatments (MRNA, KRAS, Optune Pak, etc); gets ones head spinning. Often struggle with whether to move to Mayo, Sloan, or Dana Farber at some point (we have Boston/MA roots.)
Thoughts/feedback welcome, thanks again!
Mary

@golfgirl1 Hi Mary and welcome to Mayo Connect. Sorry to hear about the diagnosis and journey of your partner. If you have any doubt about your treatment, get a 2nd opinion. The worst thing that can happen is the confirmation of your current treatment plan. The peace of mind in knowing that you are on the best treatment path is worth it. Here is a link to get the process going at Mayo if you are interested. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
How are you folks doing overall? Any questions or concerns going unanswered at this point?
