About 2 years ago, I had my 5-year and "final" scan at Rochester. The following December, we moved and I had to find a new oncologist. He ordered a scan that indicated that my cancer was back. Now I am going to Mayo every 3 months for scans. As of January of this year, the cancer is not growing or spreading. I have another scan scheduled for next week Thursday. As long as the cancer is not growing, there will be no treatment because doctors are afraid that chemo will cause further damage to my kidneys. I am taking life one day at a time and am enjoying the coming of spring. It will soon be 7 years since my diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and my Whipple procedure. I thank God for every day of life.
