There are too many variables for a quick yes or no answer. Stage of cancer is a big one. Overall health is another. Access to good medical teams. Attitude of the patient. The list goes on. I was diagnosed at stage 3 more than 2 1/2 years ago, had Whipple surgery followed by 12 rounds of folfirinox chemo and was closely monitored for 2 years with no indication of disease until it recurred. I am now 11 treatments in on a planned 18 of abraxane/Gemcitibine before radiation. Hopefully this will buy me more time again. My mother in law was also stage 3 but wasn’t able to have Whipple surgery because of tumour location. We lost her in 4 months.. There is a constant improvement in treatments. All the best to you!
