My pancreatic cancer story - Ivan McMinn

[@SusanCannon-p9i]

I'm inspired by this story as a Whipple procedure survivor of 4 years and having been able to tolerate more than half my chemotherapy before the Nueropathic pain was not tolerable. I'm so grateful for my journey and feel a deep empathy for all fellow cancer patients, may your strength uphold and support you.

What are test and scan to diagnose?

[@jennywallis65]

He is indeed very lucky. A friend of mine was initially treated for an ulcer & it took a while to get the correct diagnosis. She died in September, at 72. RIP Sue.

My friend was diagnosed 16 years ago with pancreatic cancer. He had a whipples surgery and is fit and well today

Praise the Lord! So thankful you are doing well, Ivan!

[@janisdeitsch2985]

Thankyou for sharing your story, Ivan Time does indeed matter. We need the symptoms of PC to be as recognised as those of the more well-known types of cancer. Your story gives hope, thankyou :)

Ivan is incredibly lucky, the vast majority of pancreatic cancer sufferers like me are diagnosed as borderline receptacle which in reality is a myth, I was opened up for a whipple only to find out after waking up after the surgery that the operation had to be aborted due to my cancer having completely surrounded and invaded my portal vein, I had 8 cycles of Folfininox before the surgery which in all honesty was worse than any of the effects of my cancer and nearly killed me after cycle 8 due to my body not being able to resist the toxins in the folfirinox , I am now on single agent palliative gemcitabine chemo which is really mild when compared to folfirinox but I know my time is limited, the surgeon who performed my operation told me in August 2022 that I may have another 12 months of active life? so let's see what happens?

[@squirrellvr79]

Hope you're still doing okay... all the best.

Thanks for sharing your story of surviving this horrible cancer. What is the test to check for pancreatic cancer markers?

[@Flamingo5959]

It's a blood test.
