@valerina30 My spouse's Oncologist discussed Optune Pax. I am interested in your experience. Did you have any issues with insurance coverage? How are you adjusting to wesring it 12 hrs/day? Thank you

@valerina30 I've heard of the optune pax. Would very much appreciate you keeping me informed on your thoughts of its effectiveness. My husband is stage 4 with many nodules in liver and elsewhere. mild abdominal discomfort is what led to the diagnosis. He has rare type - acinar cell carcinoma which is about 1% of pancreatic cancers. Receiving chemo while we hope and wait to be admitted to the trial of a drug that treats his very rare gene fusion.
Wishing you the best in your treatment.
