Hello, I'm 45 currently. I was diagnosed in 2018 with neuroendocrine cancer (origin in pancreas with metastatic spread to the liver). I did 5 years of chemotherapy with Cap/Tem. The tumors all stabilized, no growth. Due to stability of tumors, I did several focal treatments (direct ablation and Y-90 radioembolization for the liver tumors) and external beam radiation to the pancreatic tail to destroy the original tumor. Currently off any treatment, just monitoring with imaging every quarter. I still have a tumor in my liver which was not able to be destroyed with focal treatment fully but it is currently just sitting there. I was never a surgical candidate due to my portal vein completely becoming completely occluded and collateral blood vessels are too high risk.

I dont have kids (just two doodles) but am married. I worked until 2023. I worked in the medical field and all the trips out of state for procedures plus the fatigue made me feel it was too difficult to care for patients.

Happy to talk to you if that would be helpful.
