About
Welcome to my area. I started this site to provide us a way to update family and friends on my progress with treatment for pancreatic cancer. This will also give me a place to share some of the programming that I do.
For a little background info: I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the young age of 46. At first, the doctors thought I had a gall stone, but once they went in to remove it, they discovered a tumor around the bile duct running from the gall bladder through the pancreas. What followed was a major surgery, known as a Whipple procedure. After the surgery, I was out of work for 6 weeks, then went through 6 months of chemotherapy along with 5 weeks of radiation therapy. After being asymptomatic for almost a year, I started having some indigestion. I was back in surgery where the surgeon moved where the small intestine attaches to the stomach. In the process, the surgeon discovered that I had more cancer surrounding the small intestine and the artery feeding the area.
That brings us up to the present. This log will update people on the progress we make through the next batch of chemotherapy.
