Giving hope: 5 year celebration pancreatic cancer-free
Pancreatic Cancer | Last Active: Aug 10, 2023 | Replies (41)Comment receiving replies
Hi!
My FNP was really on my side and kept on until she found my lipase levels were super high and a CT scan confirmed I had pancreatic cancer. I was at Mayo within 2 weeks and they had me go back home and do chemotherapy until it had shrunk enough to do surgery, which I had at mayo May 3, 2018. I had a distal pancrectomy and a splenectomy followed by more chemotherapy and every scan since has been great!! Mine was caught very early, hence listening to your body!! Good luck!!

that is wonderful! May I ask where your cancer was? I find this forum so helpful because it's so hopeful. My husband was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - he had a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. He was diagnosed at stage 2b. I look at this forum for insight as to how others are doing/coping.
Thank you
