Pancreatic cancer recurrence: Anyone else?

What a positive outlook! Are you in Hospice Care now? Frankly, I think they can extend life with their loving care. After recent pancreatic metastasis to my lungs I am now stage 4. I’m putting lots of thought into when enough is enough. I’m looking at quality rather than longevity of life. Hospice improved my Mom’s and my sister’s life— both died in this past year.

Yes, I am still in hospice because the return of my cancer was considered to be untreatable. I did not want anymore surgery or chemo and I think they thought the cancer would move quickly. Now, 8 months later I’m still being looked at as an outlier because my original cancer and surgery will be 8 years ago in May and they didn’t think they got good margins then. I too, would rather have quality of life and so far my prayers have been answered. I am sorry to hear you recently lost your Mom and your sister. My sincere condolences. I like Hospice, and I do think their care when I had COVID helped me to recover. Only you know when you have peace that enough is enough. I am truly at peace and have no fear, and I will pray that for you too, Ellen.
