How can I connect with other pancreatic cancer patients?

Anyone on here today

I was diagnosed in May, 2025.

Diagnosed 11/2024 Since then 10 chemo treatments And Whipple surgery Restarting chemo 8/22 to address lymph nodes 😢

Hello any one awake?

Yes

That’s great your where able to have the whipper surgery my dad pancreatic cancer is inoperable according to the doctors

Loretta, I am so sorry 😢- that’s unfortunately not an uncommon story. My oncologist told me 80% of those diagnosed aren’t able to have the surgery. Either way there is no assurance the cancer won’t return somewhere else….

Hi, I was diagnosed July 2024, I had whipple surgery that same month. I completed 12 rounds of chemotherapy in March. I found a pancreatic cancer foundation that has monthly online zoom meetings lead by a therapist. They have 3 separate meetings, one for those newly diagnosed, another for survivors (people that do not fall into the newly diagnosed group) and a meeting for care givers. It is the Seen A Magowitz foundation. I have participated in 2 of the survivor meetings. There are several people in this group that were diagnosed 10 plus years ago. I have found the group to be very supportive and encouraging. I hope that you find support to get through treatment. I know that I found treatment to be challenging. But I got through it.❤️‍🩹

How do I find the caregiver meeting?

Search for for Seen A Magowitz foundation. When you find it, create an account and I believe you can find the support group information on the calendar

Thank you

Good luck, I hope that find it helpful

Hello I just found this app. I was diagnosed in May or June of 2024 I took 4 treatments and had the Whipple surgery and they got the cancer. I took 4 more treatments, and I was told I was in remissioned, just yesterday I found out that my CA 19 has gone back up and something has come back on one of my scans. I was just getting used to being cancer-free, and now I'm scared, it might be returning. I'm asking for everyone's prayers, please. I need the support group.

Has anyone on here been told? They might need whipple surgery, again

I was diagnosed February 14, 2019 with stage 4. Cancer free for 2.5 years. Had a localized recurrence at one of the margins. Had more chemo and radiation. I remain in remission so far. For those of you with recent diagnosis, please feel hopeful.

Thank you, I really appreciate you sharing your story of successful treatment,

My father was diagnosed April 2025 stage 4 with Mets to the omentum. We are seeing Dr Wolfgang in NYC. For anyone told they are unresectable, please look this doctor up. Hope this information helps someone. Prayers and healing for everyone here

Hi family, I had Whipple surgery in January of 24 and more chemo until August, so far still hanging in, however now it is diabetes,

Diagnosed January 24. Had surgery. Doing chemotherapy

I was diagnosed in September 2024, went through 3 months of chemo. Tried to have Whipple but tumor was wrapped around a artery. I've had 3 additional months of chemo followed by chemo radiation (25 treatments). Now waiting to have a PET-MRI in October

To Glenda, keep positive thoughts, it really helps.

Hi my Dad has Stage 4 Pan Can I want to know what can help his appetite?

What stage are you

Glenda, where are you being treated? Is the tumor wrapped around the mesenteric artery?

Loretta, I found and still find, that using THC in small amounts diminishes my nausea and increases my appetite. Hot soups were my mainstay. Keeping well hydrated is very important.
