Hello, I was diagnosed stage IV PCan 12/2021. Tumor in the tail as well as metastases in my liver. No symptoms until I had a clinching pain in my right side. Thought it was appendicitis!
Fast forward, I got a 2nd opinion then started Fulfurinox. 12 rounds. Everything shrunk and my markers came from 23k to 21. Did Y90 to my liver in September then 2 more rounds of fulfurinox without the ox. Markers went up.
December 7 pancreadectomy. Last check markers came down 50 points to 179. Next up a PET scan and another blood draw. One recommendation is to remove liver metastes next IF PET is good. Been through a lot in 13 months and pushing for that 5 year mark!!

What hospital are you at? We were told multiple times
that surgery is not an option once there is metastasis to the liver. My husband is also Stage 4 in tail. Mets to liver. Markers have dropped from about 5000 to under 200 and both tumor and liver Mets are shrinking on gemabraxane plus pemravulab in a trial.
