I am considering a second opinion. I was diagnosed Jan of 2020. I had surgery to remove the tail of my pancreas. Because I developed an infection I had to go back in the hospital for 5 days. Once I started to heal I had my port placed and started chemo. Fast Forward to last summer I had a recurrence so more chemo. This went on for a year. Finally stopped . Two months later my PET showed a second recurrence. I just had radiation yesterday (oct 13). I feel ok but very fatigued. I am also looking for clinical trials and so far none that I will qualify for.
I feel like there is something more to do. My biggest problem is if I go outside of my insurance I am going to have to pay. I have an HMO.
