Hi there Survivorfaith: just doing an end of the yr. check in with a few fellow NET folks. How are you doing? Where was/ is your tumor? Do you have carcinoid syndrome? Hope the New Year will be great for you!

Have your scan results come back? Hoping that all is ok.

I have P.C. Stage III, I had the Tumor removed and will start Chemo in a week or 2.
Aounds like you are doing good, I just don't know what to expect, & I am Scared....

Hello survivorfaith, Welcome to WhatNext. So glad you are a survivor of Pancreatic cancer. I myself am a 13year+, stage IV, PC survivor. It was a good thing the misdiagnosis was the gall bladder and not another organ. The gall bladder is removed anyway in the Whipple Procedure for pancreatic cancer. It appears that you were fairly young to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Although my sister sent me an article about a 27 year old woman who has stage IV colon cancer. However this is not her first battle with cancer. At age 13 she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer!!! So hard to believe...it must be genetic. She lost her grandmother, her mother and father, as well as her best friend...all to cancer. What is your regiment now that you are in remission? Any cat scans once a year maybe? That is what I am suppose to do, but I always don't get it done every year.
Once again welcome...my best to you,
Russ
