I’m feeling well, except for a little discomfort on my right side under my rib. I walk a mile every day that weather permits and take Creon before I eat a meal.
My surgeon said that my pancreatic cancer was carcinomatosis and that chemo would only give me about four more months ( he said I had about six to eight months). The PET scan and CT scans did not show the carcinomatosis. He found it when he went in to do the Whipple. He didn’t do the Whipple and left the tumor. He took six inches of my intestine and did a bypass around the pancreas so I would be able to digest food. Chemo made me sick and I don’t want to feel miserable if it’s not going to help me.
I feel sad when I think of what has happened to me and my family—it’s seems surreal that I feel normal, but knowing that my time is near. I am in God’s hands and pray for a miracle 🙏

MD Bray,
It is overwhelming when I think about what I will miss. I am finishing my # 8 chemo now for another 30 hours. There are so many stories of things that survivors have done in stage 4 pancreatic. I was intrigued by the extreme fasting because I was an intermittent faster prior to my diagnosis and the Joe Tippens story was amazing and the work being done with immunotherapy. I often wonder if there is a cure. I have found four survivors in my town and one was stage 4. He is now 10 years. I will keep you in my healing thoughts.
