@stageivsurvivor I noted your reply to @pendesk8 regarding clinical trials because you mentioned having the ATM gene mutation. I do as well; mine was discovered in December after we did genetic testing due to a small (DCIS) breast cancer. I haven't yet met with the med onc; that will be in a week. But I am really interested to know more about specific approaches to ATM-linked pancreatic cancer and the PARP inhibitors you mentioned. I'll do some research today, but if there's anything you'd be willing to share, I would appreciate it. Thank you!

This is a good starting link for ATM and PARP inhibitors-

There are a number of organizations that do clinical trial searches. A few are CancerCommons.org, EmergingMed.com and myTomorrows.com. Their websites list a phone contact to speak with personnel that do searches.
