Thank you for this video! My Mom was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, borderline resectable. She dealing with the bowel issues and we’re trying to get her eating under control. Glad to hear there’s hope! Keeping the faith.

Hi , could you give me advice on my impending pancreatic resection and removing the spleen. I believe my tumour is affecting the nerve behind the pancreas . I live in Nz and they don’t do chemo or radiation prior to surgery. I am 77 yrs old and wondering if I will survive long enough after private surgery.

Great story and well told. Can you tell me the chemo that didn't work?
