@contentandwell Typically, pancreatic cancer and the chemo that follows do not affect the kidneys. I am told that one person in 300,00 react to the chemo drug gemcitabine and develop atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. I was that one. This disease slowly destroys the kidneys. I spent 9 months in 2015 driving to Mayo for treatments and was finally cured, but not before the damage was done. I asked Mayo about a pancreas/kidney transplant. The doctor told me that because of the internal scarring from my Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer, a pancreas transplant would be too difficult. So we are working on just a kidney transplant. Most of the people I know who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are no longer living. Every morning I wake up and every night I go to bed, I thank God for another day of life. Have a blessed Easter!
