Hi,
I am responding to your private message you sent to me, after I shared my ca19 was 35.
This is my first private message. I hope I am doing it right.
I too have had 6 rounds of chemo - fulfirnox.
I was diagnosed june 8th 2023,with stage 2b.
A 2.5-3cm tumor on the head and spread to one lymph node by liver.
I had a CT and pet after 4 chemos-at that time they said tumor was stable. In June they said their goal for me was a cure - 12 chemo treatments, 1 month rest, the Whipple, 3 months surgery recuperation.
Recently I had problems w my gallbladder. The gallbladder duct was blocked w sludge. They did an ercp- the duct is still blocked but they made a new pathway from gallbladder to small intestine and included a stent in the new pathway. I had to skip chemo for 3 weeks. Tomorrow I have followup for the ercp.
I will have another CT and pet on Nov 12 -13, after my 8th chemo.

How are you doing? What did you learn at the follow-up after the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) ?
