I was diagnosed as stage 3 in Jan 2021, underwent Whipple surgery and 12 rounds of folfirinox . Monitored. Bloodwork and CT every 3 months, all clear for 2 years after finishing chemo. CA19-9 starting to climb was first indication of recurrence. PET scan clarified areas that CT still could not. Had another 12 treatments of gemcitabine/abraxene (sp?) followed by 25 radiation with capcitibene. Going for follow up bloodwork/CT today to see if this has helped control the cancer. Stay positive - time is your friend as progress continues to be made with treatments.
