Pancreatic Cancer

How do I prepare for stage 4 pancreatic cancer treatment and clinical trials?

Hello. My name is Sandi. I am 62 years old. I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer on March 3, 2026. Scheduled to start chemo Wednesday. We have just visited MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Pending one more test of my biopsy sample, I may be eligible for 1 or 2 trials using one of the new medications that seems to have very good results. This trial is in addition to the chemo cocktail that we are already planning to use. With God as our greatest strength, we, my husband and I, are ready to take this journey together. We are willing to throw whatever we can at this nasty disease.

What to expect during folfirinox treatment for pancreatic cancer?

Hello, my name is Maria, I'm 69 years old. I was originally diagnosed with a ductal cancer in January, but 2nd opinion from Cleveland Clinic, said I had a locally advanced pancreatic cancer with vein involvement and recommended 6 cycles of folfirinox and would then reevaluate for surgery. Symptoms started in October '25, stomach pain, extreme nausea, poor appetite/weight loss, bowel changes. My primary care physician found critically high bilirubin. Hospitalized 2 weeks early November. Placed a drain but never found cancer even after several procedures with biopsies. A surgeon did a "spy glass" procedure after discharge and finally found a cancer. I'm just finishing my 5th cycle, and have a scan ordered so surgeon can reevaluate. Side effects are manageable - cold sensitivity, cramping, dry mouth, mild neuropathy. Good news, no hair loss or thinning! Wishing/praying good results for all.

Has anyone experienced severe stomach pain after first chemo treatment?

Hi, my name is Nadia, I’m 60 years old and I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last month on April 2. I started my first chemo and had no nausea.

What to expect starting chemo for pancreatic cancer near arteries?

Hello! My name is Cindy. I was diagnosed really after my primary seen my yearly lab results on 2/25/25. Bilirubin and liver enzymes were all elevated. I went in to see her about some itching I had going on and she spoke to me then about the lab work. Had another bilirubin test and an US. Bilirubin went from 4 to 5.1 in 5 days. She had me do an MRCP that Saturday and I met with an oncologist on the following Tuesday. He sent me straight to the ER where I had an ERCP and an EUS with FNA. This confirmed the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas. Start my chemo 4/7 in hopes of shrinking the tumor for surgery. The tumor is small 2.1 x 1.7 but it is near major arteries. Wish me luck!!
