How do I cope with cancer spreading to my pancreas?

What treatments

Immunotherapy

What do you do to keep hope?

Praying for you. My surgery is scheduled for October 6.

Christine praying for you too. Thank you

They are doing CT scans every 3months to see any changes. Then immunotherapy. It’s really hard dealing with all that has happened in the last year cancer, heart attack and triple bypass. Finally had to start seeing a therapist for the first time in my life. Depression and anxiety

Marsha I'll be praying for you as well.

I don't know if I'm supposed to ask but are you Christians? Id really like to encourage each other. Is there a place for that in our chats? Or do you know of a place to do so.

I have stage4 small cell carsonomia on my adrenal gland. it has not been fun ,but I am working it.

I'll be praying for you Matthew

I'm on ketruda every 6 weeks. Had my right kidney removed last October 30th. Do you know anyone 😏 taking this? It seems to be working well. Good luck with your progress

Colleen, I suppose to be in that med but they changed their mind and now I'm two other. I hope the best for you.

I pray the best for you as well. They may change my medicine after checking me for why I'm having balance issues. I have an MRI spine on Monday. I will keep you posted. And again good luck with your treatments. Have a wonderful day

I had my left kidney removed in 2010, doctors told me no big deal, my body would adjust. fifteen later I was suprised with small cell carsonomia on my right adrenal gland. I was told this most likely be an on going situation for the for seeable future. first year went smooth with immunotherapy. the last times unbearable on a pill regiment. Both times I didn't complete the cycle because it made me to sick. I will be seeing the doctors September 16 to figure the next step

I pray they find you something that won't make you sick. This is a long process. I wish you all the best. Thank you for your input. Let me know how it goes

Back in 23 October and December. I had left and right portial nephrectomies. Also had my upper right lobe of loan removed in January 24. Now it is spread all over and I am in stage 4.. started taking up OpDivo and Envoy every 3 weeks back in August 25. Praying to see some improvement in my next CT scheduled in December. If not I'm thinking of ivermectin.

Hope is in the evidence of things not seen. What is helpful is keeping your mind on the positive things. When anxiety takes you to darkness, you must, exercise your emotions in things positive. We feel so abandoned. We think we are useless and inadequate. So I found that the cure is in doing things for others. Doing something for someone else, or our caretaker, will free up chemicals in the brain that press down anxiety and hopelessness. The smallest of deeds can lift the heavey weight upon you. Ask them to bring you the laundry and fold it, if you are in bed. Reorganize a cabinet or closet. Find several things that they don't have time for. Stay within your strength and current abilities. The response will be a true blessing for them and you. It will clear up things pressing down on you and those you help will know you are still in the fight. Good luck. I pray that God will give you clarity of thought along with the Dr's and Nurses. Those that treat you, may wisdom have it's perfect work in your daily walk. My the precious hands of those upon you be filled with the wisdom that only comes from above. In my prayers daily.
