After sudden stomach issues for a month and change in urine color I got blood work that showed liver enzymes thru the roof signaling a blockage
Only to discover in April Im stage 3 hospitalized then got biliary stent and duedenum stent so food and bile could pass. Lost 23lbs .. Was at first considered borderline resectable Then did chemo the folfrinox landed me back in hospital .. kicked my butt so struggled thru 3 full gemcetibine/abraxane then even tho it shrunk some the tumor board deemed me inoperable because of veinous involvement
So I requested the proton radiation therapy. I had 5 days of high dose mrgrt , mri guided at miami cancer institute sept 26-30th
So now its a wait and see until
next month how results of that are going.. being a none smoker non drinker , ate well etc Beat breast cancer from 6 years ago ( pet scan was clear in April , except for this damn pancreatic tumor
its quite devastating to wrap my head around
But please ask what other options. Be persistent. Email Dr , call dont wait for next appt unless its in a few days ask about Radiation, nano knife, trials , there really arent any immuno therapies yet I dont think
Lets all stay in touch. 🙏🏻

They first found my pancreatic cancer in July when I turned really yellow.At first I was told it was resectable after chemo.Then was told it wasn't because it went into 3 lymph nodes.I have taken 4 months of pacitaxel and gemcetibine.The tumor has shrunk and no cancer is showing on my pet scan but they still wont do the surgery because it was in my lymph nodes.I found out Mayo is removing the Lymph nodes and doing the whipple procedure by laproscopy.Much less invasive.I'm going to look for that.
