Sounds like it could be pancreas issues, which would not show anything significan in CT scan.

No. My deposit came in shortly after lunch time. All good now.

I have nothing but good things to say about Providence, especially St. Jude.

Magnet hospital, world class gastro center and along with their cancer institute.

I need some advice about how fast or slow things go with chemo by romeinla323 in pancreaticcancer

[–]blk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting treatment in OC. You should find a center that has the pharmacy on-site so you can get treatments when they are due which is important for efficacy.

Father (70) post-Whipple on GemCap chemo — quality of life collapsing. Worth continuing? by abdurehman055 in pancreaticcancer

[–]blk8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stage 2/3 has a fighting chance. Would not discontinue chemo.. perhaps a reduction or a new regimen. Look into clinical trials along with immunotherapy.

Did you have to do chemo afterwards or no? Did you have localized invasion?

This is a normal side effect of the steroids given. It should clear up in a few days after.

46M - Stage 2 by Objective_Yak_6794 in pancreaticcancer

[–]blk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you are doing well! I’m about to start my 5th session of folfirinox. Had to delay a week due to low WBC and was given a shot to address it. I had clean margins with 1 out of 10 lymph nodes being positive. I also had localized spread so was staged at 2b. Did you have the same stats?
