I have a recurrance after 3 years of no evidence of disease in surgical bed and lungs all pancreatic cancer. So glad you are not ready to give upon, me neither but I am depressed trying to turn that around. I got lung ablations where they insert a probe and obliterate with heat or freeze the cancer cells. It is very accurate not hurting any other cells. Now there are too many so I'm doing a drug trial to help immune system reve up. Let me know how your treatment goes. I also had radiation. Leigh

Hi Leigh, it's a punch in the gut to hear that you have a recurrence. You sound like you have a good attitude and that you're working on reframing hope within this new reality. Can you tell me more about the drug trial you're doing? Is it an immunotherapy?

My last recurrence and treatment was in 2018. I had my regular scan and blood work on Monday, appointment with my oncologist today and he was so pleased he is now moving my scans and blood work to every 6 months. I'm finally gaining weight and feel better than I have in years.
Never ever give up, I know sometimes the future doesn't look very bright, I've been there but never stop fighting or give up hope.
