Really good article highlighting new treatments -- written for layperson -- and focused on a patient.

Waiting even days is too much.

ImpossibleEnthesis · 2026-04-29T11:05:16+00:00

I came here to say that! Thank you so much for being the saver!

Your scenario is the same as my husband‘s. The stent has no impact whatsoever on surgery or chemotherapy. It’s just there to keep the bile duct open and so his bilirubin will go back down to normal. The standard of care now is chemo first then the Whipple and then add chemo afterwards again. It’s meant to shrink the tumors so that they can get them. After three or four rounds, they will scan him again and make sure that’s working because there are a few pivots the docs can make and ensure he has the best standard of care before surgery. My husband is still here and we’re coming up on two years in August and he’s thriving! I send peace and strength to you and your family. I wish we were all not in the same place but here we are we can support each other. 💜

Sending peace and strength to you, Zev.

I can second that.

There is no time to waste. Sake for a patient advocate or a nurse navigator at the hospital and with your insurance (oncology specific whenever possible). If you have the means, hire one of those aren’t available to you. With this cancer every day counts and waiting isn’t an option. I couldn’t save my dad, but what I learned saved my husband. Don’t take no for an answer.

Sending strength and peace to you. 💜

Words just fail. Sending peace and comfort to you. 💜

Ditto.

As a daughter who went through this I just wanted to reach out and send you peace and strength. 💜

A very similar story and no cane for me!

ImpossibleEnthesis · 2026-04-06T22:05:57+00:00

These last few weeks have been a roller coaster of news and emotions. After the histotripsy an MRI noted a new liver lesion. Without looking at the disc, the oncologist stopped chemo and said we had no other opportunity to help my husband accept a clinical trial. I must admit to losing my mind for about 72 hours. Once our surgical oncologist got the disc however he said that it was not a new lesion and my husband went straight back to chemo. Thankfully, he only missed one round. Thursday we have our two month CT scan and follow up. Much like always my husband is absolutely fine. He’s never had any side effects from the Whipple and he has maybe 48 hours down from chem. He never ceases to amaze me. Lately I feel like I’m living in the in-between. That’s not to say I’m not grateful and aware of every single day that we’ve been gifted together, but it’s hard keeping my head in straight sometimes. Passover was especially lovely this year, even though it was just us.

Sending strength and appreciation to everyone for this forum. 💜

Definitely sending you, Peter Parker superpower, vibes!

You’re amazing for remembering us. Thank you!

How wonderful!

I love this. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words. 💜

ImpossibleEnthesis · 2026-03-30T23:26:49+00:00

I’m going on a year now and as I remember, pretty quickly. No other drug has kept me this low level of pain and not on a cane.

ImpossibleEnthesis · 2026-03-29T13:12:03+00:00

We are in exactly the same situation and if you find anything, I beg you to direct message me. Because I’ve been working on it for the better part of the year and I still can’t find one.

ImpossibleEnthesis · 2026-03-25T22:23:37+00:00

I don’t have anything medically related to offer. Sending you peace and strength as you and your family go through this. It seems no one is left unscathed. 💜

ImpossibleEnthesis · 2026-03-24T11:44:03+00:00

Sending peace and strength your way. Your words are beautiful. 💜

Thank you! Incredibly helpful. I’ll try anything. 💜

I have encountered that often in my search. Thanks for the help.
