So sorry to hear but Stage 1 pancreatic cancer has more treatment options than Stage 3-4. It’s everyone’s own personal decision, of course!

I had severe pain in my left side which radiated to my middle back in September, 2022. Was admitted and misdiagnosed with necrotizing pancreatitis. I began losing weight quickly from then on. On a follow up MRI in November a tumor was spotted in the body/tail of my pancreas. I was diagnosed with Stage 1B. A biopsy in December confirmed adenocarcinoma. A distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was performed in early January. I healed nicely from that then had 5 back to back radiation treatments in March. I am starting 6 months of chemo shortly. I am still losing weight slowly without trying. I am now taking Omeprazole to help with burning in my stomach as well as digestive enzymes before eating anything. My digestion is not as great as before. My blood sugar has increased so am taking cinnamon capsules to try to keep it in the normal range. Do not want to be diabetic!!!
I have a lot of fatigue but assume this may still be from the radiation in March. I had a lot of nausea also, associated with the radiation for a month. Radiation made me feel really awful! Ozone therapy has truly helped my nausea and does give you more energy. I highly recommend it to anyone to add oxygen into your blood & to remove free radicles & toxins such as heavy metals from medications, vaccines, dye/contrast from CT scans & MRIs, etc. You feel like you’re 30 again after each treatment!

Best wishes in whichever decision you make! I honestly don’t want to do chemo either but with this cancer especially, you need to be more aggressive than it is, if you so choose to fight.
