Pancreatic cancer relapse

Cancer is back. Recent CT and CA19-9 confirm pancreatic cancer spread to lungs. Most of the lung nodules are too small to biopsy, but after the Tumor Panel reviews the case next week, they may be able to sample one for the diagnosis we all know is true. After that, likely 12 more rounds of Folfirinox chemo. Summer is already looking busy.

@ivy1951 I know this is disappointing. Had you been on any maintenance drugs?
How long have you been NED?

@ivy1951 ... My husbands oncologist (Vanderbilt) just told us about a new pill for recurring situations. I'm not sure what stage you have to be at, but it would be worth asking about it.
