Pancreatic Cancer Recurrence after Whipple

Posted by joannc63 @joannc63, Feb 18, 2023

Hello. I had the Whipple surgery on 6/30/2020 for stage 3 Pancreatic cancer. I found out on 2/17/23 via CT scans that it is back in the pancreatitis bed and a noldule in my liver. I see my oncologist in 2 days to go over starting chemo again. I have back pain and abdominal pain from the recurrence. Has anyone had luck with chemo when the cancer returns? I hope the oncologist can get the tumor to shrink. I guess I am just looking for hope maybe this can get under control. Thank you.

Had 6 treatment of the Gemcitabine and Paclitaxel had my CT scan they found new spots on my liver. Went and seen the clinical trial Doctor he said to stop that treatment and go back on the 5fu and all the other ones you get with the 5fu. Had 1 treatment and the clinical trial Doctor said I could not do anymore if I was going to do the clinical trial Had another liver biopsy on April 17th and I go tomorrow for more testing and I start the clinical trial on April 30th. I was so happy that I got accepted into the trial. The trial just came out in March so it's a brand new trial. Hopefully it works and I can help other people by doing this trial.
