What are other survivors doing about pancreatic enzymes replacement?
I am a 4 year survivor of pancreatic cancer. I have been on creon since my Whipple. It is very expensive. I talked to someone who was using Pure Encapsulation instead of creon. The formula doesn't match my creon, but it is about 1/4 the cost of the co-play on creon. What are other survivors doing about pancreatic enzymes replacement?

Hello @marvinjsturing
I see that you are a relatively new member to Connect. Congratulations on being a four year survivor of pancreatic cancer! If you care to share more, would you mind sharing at what stage your cancer was when diagnosed and what symptoms led to the diagnosis?
I hope that other members who have used Creon or Pure Encapsulation will respond to your request for more information. I would like to invite a fellow Mentor, Gary @gman007 to join in this conversation. As he has had pancreatitis and might be able to offer some more ideas and also invite others to join.
I look forward to hearing from you again, Marvin.
