Six Month Checkup

Mom went in for her 6 month checkup and things are fine. Her scan was clean and her CA 19-9 dropped back down to 35 which is great news. She passed her blood test for the vaccination (this time she stopped all herbal supplements a few weeks ago) and will get the shots on Monday. Another sigh of relief.

Hi,

I stumbled upon your blog and it has been extremely informative. My dad has also been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Post-whipple we just now looking for the best systemic treatments available and don't know what we're looking for, particularly since our local treatment center rarely treats PC. In some strange way, I also feel connected to your family because of the Asian heritage.

Would you mind contacting me by email so we can converse further? I would really REALLY appreciate that.

Thank you, God bless you and your family especially your mother.

I just wanted to thank you for this blog. My brother just underwent the Whipple and we're trying to figure out the best thing to do next. I really appreciate your detailed description of your family's experience.

Pancreatic cancer happens inside the tissues of the pancreas, which is a crucial endocrine organ situated behind the stomach. The pancreas assumes a fundamental part in digestion by delivering catalysts that the body needs to digest fats, starches, and proteins.
