Hello @ryanmary3341 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm glad that you joined Connect and the discussion group for pancreatic cancer.
I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis but you must feel fortunate to have been diagnosed at Stage 1. It sounds like you are progressing well with the treatment plan. Do you know how many months/weeks you will be having the chemotherapy?
As you were diagnosed at an early stage I'm wondering what type of symptoms you were having that led to the diagnosis. Please share as you are comfortable doing so.

My chemo started yesterday, and so far no side effects. I will undergo 6 cycles(6) months of therapy, 3weeks on one week off for total of 6 months. I was doagnosis with EPI first and my gastro Dr. sent my to get further testing witch showed a 3cm cyst on my panceras and then he sent me to a surgical onocologist who reccomended the whipple surgery.
