Diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in tail of pancreas stage 2A. My regimen is chemo followed by resection surgery then chemo again. Just started the chemo yesterday and feel I am doing ok so far. A lot of nausea and trouble swallowing anything cold or cool. I have been able to go out walking with my dog so we are both happy! I hope to be cancer free in about 8 months but not looking forward to the process. Research is overwhelming me and I get occasional anxiety. Hoping to connect with others experiencing this and commiserate. I am starting in good health and hope to be encouraged and encourage others!

Hello,
I had a distal pancreatectomy for an IMPN last July, and an adenocarcinoma was found at that time. I am stage 1b and have had 8 Folferinox treatments, with 4 to go. Definitely no picnic (neuropathy, nausea, fatigue and heartburn). Let me know if you have any specific questions or concerns about anything, and I will try to be helpful. Wishing you the best on your journey.
