I was sorry to hear that you now have to fight breast cancer. But, you will get through this. I am glad you have family that are willing to let you stay with them. That is a blessing. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

Welcome to the site. I am sure that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need someone to talk to. We are all in the same boat when it comes to emotions and feelings about our health. Just know that no question is to silly to ask and if you need to vent because you are having a bad day, we are here for you. I hope you find this site as helpful to you as it has been for me.

Hello janabel681, Welcome to WhatNext, a great website where you can meet those who are on the same cancer journey as yourself. You are darn right...after beating pancreatic cancer 3 years ago you can beat anything!!! I like your attitude...I myself am a 14 year pancreatic cancer. Greg, (mgr of WhatNext), and I did a video some time back about my battle if you are interested you can view it at:

My CA19-9 was 8 today!

Hello Janabel681!

It looks like you are making good progress. What surgery and what chemo are you getting now? I had the full Whipple procedure 8 & 1/2 years ago. 6 months of 24/7 5FU with 3 weeks on and 1 week off. Is your chemo causing any side effects? Let me know how you are doing and if there is anything I can do for you.

Thank you so much for sharing. It really lifted my spirits. I am waiting to see what the next step will be. I'm also at MD Anderson. Dr. Jason Fleming (pancreatic surgeon) and Dr. Varadhachary (oncologist). Are you familiar with either?
