Pancreatic Cancer | Eric's Story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2019
- Chicago resident, Eric, and his wife, Christine, share the experience of his stage 3 pancreatic cancer diagnosis and the actions taken to get a second opinion. Their research ultimately led him to the surgical oncology team at Johns Hopkins, where he underwent an aggressive treatment plan that included extensive chemotherapy and radiation therapy followed by a modified Appleby procedure, an operation designed to treat locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Now five years after surgery, Eric reflects on his enhanced quality of life and the joys every moment spent with his family brings.

I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Did chemo and radiation. My tumor was attached to the artery. Luckily it shrank. They removed the bottom half of my pancreas and spleen. I am now going into my 10 th year cancer free.
If you don’t mind me asking: (1.) was it adenocarcinoma? (2.) What steps did you take to remain cancer free all these years?
I had the same story Eric had. At the age of 38 I was diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer. I'm still alive after the whipple procedure and I am truly blessed and thankful
What kind of symptoms did you have?
What were your symptoms
Weight loss, loss of appetite and I had abdominal pains. The pains was bad which is dangerous because it was something that you can get use too. I had a tumor the size of a baseball which caused the pain because I kept leaning on it.
God bless you💖
@@lightskin._.baddie0328 thank you
At age 70, I biked 20 miles one Saturday. Within a week, I turned yellow. I saw my primary care doctor on Thursday,. After failing a blood test at his office, I had endoscopic surgery on Friday, with the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer a week later. Testing continued. A month later I had whipple surgery. After 6 months of chemotherapy followed by liver damage for 5 months, I am now cancer free with a healed liver. Praise to God! All my treatment including surgery was within 40 miles of my home in West Virginia. This has all occurred since May 1, 2019. I lead a normal life except for neuropathy.
What do you mean you turned yellow??
@@Eros13adios I think Mr wickland may be referring to jaundice, because when you contract it your skin/eyes turn a yellow hue, I believe
Your story is inspiring. Please, pray for my husband Tiho. Only God can save him. ❤️
God is so good 🙏💗
, Jaundice
He is so profoundly lucky as most people diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer die within a year. Five years after diagnosis and he is healthy with a good life This is really inspiring.
half of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer dies even if its stage 1 with whiple surgery this guy got stage 3.
My uncle just got it near 60. I have no idea what stage or anything but I’m scared.
He has money! If you have great resources and the ability to travel to receive the BEST care, you can add a few extra years.
@@PracticeinFlorida By your reasoning the rich should have much better outcomes when diagnosed with cancer, but that's not true. The median survival rate for pancreatic cancer is four months. Thus, 50% of all people, rich and poor, die within four months of being diagnosed with this insidious disease. The man just clearly beat those bad odds.
@@socrates5135 how is that not true? Our life expectancy here in the US is plummeting bc of healthcare costs and covid. Maybe try using actual science instead of just mindlessly regurgitating conservative talking points?
my mom was just diagnosed... im trying to be strong to be a strong support system but i cant stop crying
Hang in there. I hope your mom beats this. My dad just passed away 2 days ago from this. He lived less than a month after diagnoses.
Stay strong. My husband was diagnosed of pancreatic cancer last month. Please pray for her to find the right treatment. If you trust me, I am 62, please have a chat. We found the nature treatment: diet, exercises, and brown sugar intake. Text me 602-885-3888 so I will share the experiences.
My husband started the exercise since January 13, he has been improving a lot.
No more Blood pressure pill, no more metformin, insulin shot long active, short active, his blood sugar seems in control
Every morning is 101-134.
I'm so sorry, my father was diagnosed with bone cancer...prayers
brown sugar!? I thought they said sugar feeds cancer cells???
@@wellwellmymichelle yes it does! Sugar is horrible for cancer.
This is beyond rare, its almost a winning lottery ticket. You should feel extremely blessed..
Alejandro P most people still live that long
Alejandro P Im saying people still generally live between 3-6 months after being diagnosed. he is an exception. Its still a death sentence for a great majority of people
@Alejandro P the thing about pancratic cancer is that they don't show much symptoms and you can't screen them with cancer marker so you have to confirm with eus biopsy which is very invasive and whenthey show up to marker screening its to late until later stages they very hard to treat even in 1stage you only have a 37 percent survival rate after 5 years with resection operation even stage 0 has a 55percent 5 year survival which is abysmal it only takes on average about a year for stage 1 to develop in stage 4 unless your during your annual invasive screening caught it during its precancerous phase its very bad for you.

I lost my father 4 weeks ago, he had pancreatic cancer stage IV. He was diagnosed in October 2019 and had the whipple procedure done in June 2020 but unfortunately the cancer came back elsewhere.
He was the strongest man I knew and I am so proud of him.

Update prayers and hopes yall are doing fine and that their doing better
My brother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. Was admitted to JH but unfortunately the cancer had already spread to other organs. The care he received at JH was beyond words. All the nurses and most doctors were so caring. Thank you JH for treating my Brother with dignity and respect until his last seconds on earth.

Bongo Bg Gaming I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather. My father is currently fighting it, he had a whopper surgery last week and they sent out the “mass” for a biopsy. The doctor says that it doesn’t look like cancer to him but they need to be sure. I’m very worried since my aunt just died last month from this.
manny Pep update?
It was May 2016 when doctors told me I had months to live, but the worst thing was telling my children. My husband Dave and I decided to wait a month, until their exams were over, and when the day came, I was lying in bed. Matthew, who is now 18, started to cry, and Georgina, 20, said, ‘Mum, you can’t expect me to go to your funeral. Afterwards, I lay in the middle of them, holding their hands. I realised that I had so much to say to them but I didn’t do it immediately as we tried to keep family life normal probably a bit in denial.Then one day, just as I was arriving for an appointment at Princess Alice Hospice in Esher, Surrey, not far from our home, one of the nurses said, "Dr Harvey Herbal Herbs might do it."
"Do what?" I asked. She introduced me to Dr Harvey, I explained My Pancreatic life Story to him and I was told that I can be cured of this disease, Only God knew that I never believe because all my hope was lot at this point. But when Dr Harvey make me understand I pray about it that God should care me through his herbs because I have a lovely family and kids. Two months after taking the herbal herbs I go for a check up and there where no sign of Pancreatic cancer. Is It that I'm totally cure? I ask myself until the Dr Confirmed it that I was cured of Pancreatic Cancer.I also learned how much friends and family can be part of getting well. Our circle of friends and relatives was an incredible support. I want to anyone suffering from Cancer to contact Dr Harvey via (drharveyphytotherapy@yahoo.com), All thanks to him that I did't give up on life.

How is he?

@@venomgamer4395 He is recovering after the whipple surgery. 🙏
@AR his symptoms?
Most people live 3-4 months after being diagnosed.. But my dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.. By the time they found out, it was stage 4 and they said he'd only life 3 months, he lived with it for 5 and a half years, then in March he passed away.
@Deirdre Morris He did have two rounds of chemo but it made his hands and tongue turn very dark so we stopped that, he was around 230 pounds but the cancer was making him lose weight so before he died he was around 118 pounds, but he lived pretty well up until a little after Halloween and he started getting fluid in his stomach because the cancer was spreading upwards, so we had to get the fluid removed every week, and then one day he started getting all confused and eventually stopped talking, one night he fell, and I helped him up and put him in bed, then about 4 days later one night after finally getting him to sleep he slipped into a coma and passed 4 days later.
@@miracleaniaaa7208 I'm so sorry
@Mary Feather me too, I keep a picture of him in my room to comfort me
@Mary Feather its pretty weird for me considering I'm only 13, the house feels so empty without him, but I know hes watching me.
@Mary Feather I really believe he is, I was more of a daddy's girl, he was my first best friend, sometimes I feel like hes talking to me.
My grandfather is suffering from Pancreatic Cancer at Stage 4. The doctors are trying to give him as much care as possible and trying their best to keep him alive.
God bless everyone ! My friend had pancreatic cancer in stage 4 praying for miracles from God!
Good luck to your friend! 🙏🏼
Hi mam how is she now?
I just wanted to say that my mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She went to chemo and had two surgeries even though they didn’t want to operate at all. Doctor successfully removed everything and she is now recovering. When she got sick we had no idea about this illness, what are the statistics, can you even cure this and all those questions and that’s when I started searching on the internet. I noticed that people are very negative. I get that you are not in a good place or someone close to you may have died from this, but comments like PC is a death sentence is not going to help anyone. It’s irresponsible to write things like that. You are taking people’s hope and that’s all they’ve got. All I can say is that whatever the circumstances are, you must HOPE, because it’s the biggest power you can have. We are so much more than statistics.
I believe nutrition and food has a lot to do. And if they discover it early without it being spread the chances are way better. A lot of the people that die within a year it’s because it has already metastasized. And I mean, at that point even melanoma it’s a death sentence. I hope your mom total recovery and healing in Jesus name 🙏🏽❤️
💖💖💖💖 thank you

So good to see a man who has survived pancreatic cancer. Just hope it doesn’t reoccur in him as it often does with people. My mother died from pancreatic cancer. She had the Whipples surgery but the cancer came back and spread to her liver and lung. She stayed alive for about 18 months after diagnosis
My mother died from pancreatic also so sad 😭 I cried every night. She is my hero and supporter . She was alive for 9 months after diagnosed
My mother too died after 2 months of being diagnosed
Last night I found out my grandma had pancreatic cancer. It’s really hard. 6 years ago. My older sister died at the age of 15 from a brain tumour. This gives me some hope. Thank you
I’m so sorry, I hope she recovers.
My grandma passed away from pancreatic cancer. Hope yours makes it through
I’m so sorry for your loss! I have stage 4 breast cancer but have been fighting it off for over 10 years! There is always hope! That’s why I started my channel here, Too Cute For Cancer ! Hoping to encourage others touched by this rubbish!
My great grandma just got diagnosed with it 😔hope your grandma is doing well
My grandaunt died of pancreatic cancer around a month ago, its really sad to see people with this disease suffer alot, i hope your grandma is okay
Praying for you, Eric. Keep the faith and keep fighting.
Terrible the way the doc delivered the news but so glad you made it through the surgery and treatment. I’m really happy for you and your family, stay blessed.
My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His weight peaked at 185 at his time of death he was around 115. Terrible pain the last moment of his life, throwing up lost of appetite. He only survived 7 months and they diagnosed his cancer at 6 months. Rip papa. I miss you.
So sorry 💔
Mr too even after 27 years.
Which stage he was
Simply an amazing story! I wish you well.
Unbelievably lucky. Surviving this is very unusual. Good for him.
My grandmother had this..it killed her in four months. I miss her all the time.
I am so sorry for you😢
My dad has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this video gives me hope 🥊
I'm so sorry. My sister was also diagnosed recently. It's heartbreaking, to say the least.
@@boatergirl4811 now she is okay
How is your dad doing now?
Now he is oky?
My wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in November of 2016. She had excellent treatment at UPMC in Pittsburgh. She did chemo and radiation but died from blood loss after the Whipple surgery on August 24th 2017. The chemo and radiation had damaged the veins too badly, and she essentialy bled to death. We had the joy of celebrating our 50th anniversary in April of 2017. Oddly, prior to her diagnosis, while she was hospitalized for pancreatitis, she showed no cancer markers at all. She told the docs that she knew she had cancer, but no one was believing her. Finally, they did a needle biopsy, and the nightmare began. I miss her every day. My youngest son is a palliative care doc, and he told me from the beginning that it would be fatal to his mom. He uses his experience and teaches everyone he can about the importance of Advanced Directives, Health Care POAs and living wills.
My brother went to the ER at a local hospital due to back pain of 1 week radiating to the stomach. He had tried to return to work 1 day and had to keep sitting down with fatigue and being out of breath. After 3 days in hospital, having had bloodwork, CT scans, endoscopy, and biopsies, he was diagnosed with stage IV PC. Chemotherapy was considered but soon abandoned as it was found the cancer had spread so extensively. He was sent home on hospice and died 55 hours later. Crazy how you could be working, grocery shopping, fueling up your car, and managing a backache and be dead 10 days later.
He probably tolerated the pain without complaining.
😢 I’m still mourning his sudden loss. My brother ❤
Thank you for this video
If somebody responsive to the therapy, the miracles occurs
It depends on the stage when the cancer is found.
My mom's grandma died of breast cancer. Then my mom's three cousins died of leukemia, gastric cancer and last one with brain tumor. Now recently, my mother's sister died of kidney cancer. So sad for all. All diagnosed in last stages.
Great story, my grandpa just died of pancreatic cancer 5 days ago surrounded by his family, he went to a doctor last September 2022 and the doctor said his cancer is already on stage 4, he can only survive less than a year
My uncle got diagnosed in November 2021. I haven't seen him in more than 2 years which makes me disappointed. Before I took him for granted,and now I wish I would have seen him more. It keeps getting worse too. He has a feeding tube down his throat now. 2 of my uncles had this type of cancer. 1 uncle was Bob,he died right before I was born and I was named after him,Bobbi. Now,12 years later,my other uncle,Norm,has the same cancer. Luckily he got diagnosed early and is getting treated. He's living with his gf rn,she used to be a nurse so I'm not that scared bc at least if something happens,she'll be there. If I had 3 wishes I would literally wish for:Everyone's pain/cancer/anxiety/depression/etc to go away. 2nd: For each part of covid to go away (covid 19,delta,omicron) 3rd: Everyone to have food and homes:) That's all I want. I'm crying now..😔
Bobbi, The only comfort I can give is that if we accept Jesus as our Savior, know He died on the cross for our sins and rose 3 days later, and repent of sin we will be saved and go to Heaven when we die. There is no pain nor sorrow there. Living on Earth is temporary; but, living with God and Jesus is forever.
My dad was recently diagnosed pancreatic cancer stage 4 , it's literally eating me Alive watching My dad go through this
Its a terrible helpless feeling watching a parent go through this. You are not alone. Like an old man told my when i was going through it 9 years ago. "Its an ordeal but we all go through it". Try not to let it consume you. If you have something to take your mind off of it do so. Weather its work, music, Working out, talking to someone. Dont feel like your are being insensitive because you are not suffering in that moment. I found out today that my cousins husband has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Im sure she is having the same thoughts as you are. What dont kill us makes us stronger.
My friend had symptoms for 20 years. They were operating to clear a blocked bile duct when they found stage IV. Since she was opened they performed Whipple surgery that they do not like performing on a regular person that far. She went into remission after two years. Three years it came back. She passed at 5 years. We knew the odds were none existent once it came back. This is one of the worst
Did the doctors ignore her symptoms for 20 years? I don't understand ....
God is good sir may he keep blessing you and family
My niece and nephew dad die from that cancer this week…I hope they find a cure for other families don’t have to loose their love one.
My teacher who was my EA teacher helper that helped me in school when i was alot younger has passed away from this cancer and i never new she had cancer. I found out she had this cancer after she died I miss her 💔 so much and still hurting. She died a feel years ago. I would of been there for her and support her and hug if she was still alive. But i wish i was there for her if i knew early before she died. I feel like its my fault for not knowing 💔 just gonna blame it on me cuz I never knew 😢 at least she's not in pain anymore and that she's in a better and not suffering from this awful horrible disease. 💔💔💔💔 i wish to tell Eric that I lost my childhood teacher to this cancer 😢😢😢😢
God bless you Eric - eat healthy , meditate and hug your kids everyday as well as your lovely wife - God bless you ❤️👍
Is Eric still alive though? I sincerely hope he is. Updates would be helpful having gone through the effort of sharing this story.
Mary Aughey, I looked him up, and yes he’s still alive.
yes especially considering how fast it spreads and how close it was to an artery
All prayers to my father (54 Y/O), he left us a month ago due to pancreatic cancer stage 4 metastatic to the liver...
Worried of being a carrier of pancreatic cancer genes 😢 can't stop the anxiety
Amazing!
How’s he doing now ? Any info please ?
RIP Wanda
That's great! I think getting that level of treatment is great. I'm not sure if everyone is able to though.
Really lucky guy!
If you can chose what cancer not to get, it is pancreatic! This was an amazing positive story!
Here is my pancreatic cancer story somewhat similar to Eric's. I was diagnosed on Jan31, 2020. Stage 2 B in the tail of my pancreas. It was cut put along with my spleen. I started chemo in March and just finished. CT scan showed no cancer.. I was treated locally here in Oregon.

It indeed is blessing. Time is something we could only earn.
Why is there so much pancreatic cancer? What is going on? My girlfriend age 70 is not doing well from it. Hospice has been called. She did everything to fight it even going to a clinic in Mexico! I am PRAYING for a miracle because the Lord DOES miracles still! I know two women ages 42 and 66 who died from it. The masseuse at the gym was just diagnosed with it as well. What is going on?? It’s so odd how cancer has become so prevalent.
God know what is in our food, water and air. They add so many chemicals over the years to these , sometimes we do not know what it does to us untill years or decades later. Then they being out a study which confirms it, but by then we all have been exposed to it for years. Very sad...
They put cancer cells in vaccines, pesticides on food, radiation from cell towers, now 15 times worse with 5 G, prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals. Throwing lots of money at a problem is never going to fix it. I would say don't eat any sugar and do fasting.
It's supposed to be "RARE" yet over 200,000 people have it. So wth. My uncle has it..idk what to do bc I'm stressing out😔😢
@@frdsg8350 I get so annoyed with the labelling on food, these manufacturers are crooks, they are constantly trying to deceive us and hide nasty chemicals by changing the formulas and the names of the toxins they put in their foods. I remember hearing about a crisps/chips manufacturer scanning peoples brains whilst they were eating the crisps so they could see how their concoction reacted with the serotonin pathway. Half the stuff in the supermarket is made in a lab rather than a kitchen, it’s no wonder we are all sick. I’ve noticed a huge increase in vegan foods lately which from the outside pose as healthy but are basically full of dangerous junk, it annoys the hell out of me it really does. These companies should be sued. I now only eat organic meat and most of my fruit and veg is organic too. I know they can still contain pesticides but I’m hoping less is more. My shopping bill is insane but if I want to eat fresh organic, unprocessed, local food I have to pay through the roof for it.
Yeah something is going on
My father passed on October 1, 2019 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in August 2016 we live in Indianapolis but he would travel to have his treatment in New York (mt siani) manhattan he had chemotherapy in October 2016 and in June 2017 had radiation after that they said we just wait 3 months after those 3 months there wasn’t a difference instead the cancer was showing signs of spreading our worst fears came true in March 2019 and eventually in September (2019) it spread to his lungs and he was on a breathing machine and his doctor told us he’s not gonna live longer and eventually went it to cardiac arrest even with the breathing machine I never thought he was gonna leave and he always had hope for new treatment it’s tuff but at the end of the day what could you do but look back and see what you could’ve done differently
My condolences to you and your family

I’m broken on the inside
I'm so sorry 💔
Most of the survivor video is to promote the medical facilities. It might not be true. My father had had pancreatic cancer, he died in 2 years 15 days. He did not use much pain killer. Pain killer and chemo are the reason of death, not just tumor
I think some people have much pain than others depends on the people and where the tumor is located
I feel him in a way, I have type 1 diabetes
Nice story. Mine friend just died this night from it. She had only 3 months from when diagnosed. Sad.

How old were you when you were diagnosed?
Most with pancreatic cancer will never get this level of care. Be inspired by it, but our experience will be worse.
My husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. That wasn't actually there...
He went in for an endoscopic ultrasound. (Alone, at the begining of the pandemic.) Woke him up and told him he had cancer. (Alone.) Then we were put into overdrive. Doctor appointment after doctor appointment. CT scans and blood tests. They decided on chemo for 6 months, surgery and then another round of chemo. They called it the most aggressive regimen. A few months into chemo his pain was excruciating. Another CT scan and they said the tumor was growing. So we pushed up surgery. We had the surgery at Loyola in Chicago. They removed 2/3rds of his pancreas and his spleen. We waited weeks for a pathology report. Eventually getting a call from the surgical oncologist to tell us that there was no evidence of cancer. NO CANCER. No evidence of dead cells killed by chemo. Nothing. Got his port removed and sent us on our way.
We haven't recovered.
Edit: the *cancerous tumor* was actually a pseudocyst. Pancreatitis A typical cells.
Biopsy results weren't taken before surgery??
@@guruprasad7184 biopsy done table/bed side during the endoscopy, fine needle aspiration. Immediately they said cancer. Then we waited a week tops for the pathology *results* of that sample. Positive for malignant cells.
Chemo.
Surgery.
Pathology from surgery... No cancerous cells found in the 2/3rds of pancreas removed. Not even evidence of dead cancer cells.
Port removed.
@@lesajoanne7535 how he is doing now? Its really weired to hear positive in biopsy and negative after surgery!!
@@guruprasad7184 surgery was November 2020. And the port was removed Jan/Feb 2021. Wow. Doesn't seem like that much time has passed. It's been a slow recovery. He has to take Creon (EXPENSIVE pancreas enzymes to help digest food) every single time he eats or drinks anything but water. And is now pre diabetic. Often trips to the ER, bowel obstructions from adhesions from surgery. And honestly, the physical recovery is the easiest part. Emotionally and mentally were both a wreck, still. It's really hard to come out of a state where you're planning for inevitable death at the age of 36.
The kids aren't so bad, they're resilient and I don't think they really understood the severity of what we were going thru at the time.
@@lesajoanne7535 if he is really free of cancer..why you r worrying about death,cool. Take care of his symptomatic relief.Everything can be cured if it isnt cancer 🥲. And he isnt
My father had nasopherynx cancer in 2020 , after doing the treatment the dr said it was cured later after 4-6 months (not sure) the cancer come back again and we do the chemotherapy again and today we went for checkup ... my father used to have severe back pain like 1 month ago so we told about the pain to our Dr. then she said "that can also be caused by your kidney" and told us to do ultrasound... but the ultrasound result shock us ... they found out that some serious is happening in his liver and his pancreas so , we are told to do ct and endoscope and colonoscopy... we are waiting our results it'll be declared by tomorrow morning... i hope we get a good result though it is hopeless... I'm hurt seeing my father suffering this much pain😔
I caused myself pain in the line that goes right down the middle of the stomach by pressing it really hard in the skin
Eric my brother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer little over a year ago he went to the er in June 2022 they took half of his intestines out and moved his stomach the cancer spreader to his stomach and intestines less than a month after the surgery he passed away 07/25/2022 they say him having diabetes caused all of it
Fuck yeah Eric!!! You did it
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer just over a year ago. It was stage 2B and the lesion was on the tail. I finished chemo in October and there was NO cancer. I just had my CA19-9 checked and it was 100. The last time i had it checked in November it was 24. I am having it repeated. I am extremely nervous about it. Yes I know that alone doesn't mean anything. My oncologist said it could be from inflammation. I'm staying positive until I find out
God bless you my friend to stay mentally strong. I so pray to God that the whatever day is my last day to just take me out fast with a massive stroke or heart attack once it for all.
How did you found out ; By a routine doctor visit or were you feeling some pain in the abdominal area like majority of patient state???.
Are you doing okay?

it was probably folfiri or folfirinox. These are big dollars for the hospital. My mother was treated at Hopkins and they gave her this. She died within 3 months.
Why not remove it?
If you had pancreatitis in the past as well as chronic pancreatitis you will eventually end up with a IPMN which will turn into cancer. It will feel like an ache on your left side mostly when you eat fatty meat or fatty foods.
If it is discovered in time you can get the whipple procedure but depending how much of a IPMN you have determines how much of your pancreas you will be left with. The Whipple procedure recovery is brutal AF and you will be in pain for months afterwards, you will be taking antacids like candy and protonix. You'll only be able to eat food out of a 9oz ramekin twice a day. You will have muscle degeneration and have trouble walking without a cane or walker.
You will have to take stool softeners and maylox or you will
have constipation from hell, if you dont get your bowls moving you will have bile build up and will be vomiting like crazy and end up in the hospital. You will have to get endoscopy done every 6 months to check whats left of your pancreas, you could very well end up a diabetic after the whipple procedure. If you pass on the whipple procedure your alternative is death.
6 months after the whipple you will have chronic fatigue, problems with digestion unless you keep up with the stool softener. You will be noticeably weaker, less muscle mass. If you eat too much of a fatty food you will easily get pains like pancreatitis in whats left of your pancreas.
If you had chronic pancreatitis or pancreatitis in the past if i were you I'd lie to your doctor and tell him/her you have a pain in your left side and had pancreatitis before and what a CT scan or better an endoscopy. People die from pancreatic cancer a month or more or less after being diagnosed is because this thing is growing inside of you and you cant tell until its at then last stage where it gives you great pain all the sudden.
My mother went to Hopkins for Pancreatic Cancer. They couldnt do much other than Chemo. Really they could do no more than any other medical facility. What they gave her was too strong. She could only take two doses. She ultimately went to hospice and died.
So sorry Dave. She is free from all pain and at a better place now.
Hiieee there everyone, just a quick question if someone can help me out please....i was diagnosed with gastritis but doctors were confused as to why i lose so much weight. My question if there's anyone with any kinda similar symtoms do have a lump on the left hand side just below rips. Please do let me know please
I hope you got a biopsy because my partner had Gastritis for years only to be later diagnose with stage 3 pancreas cancer. Go and get checked
he was persistent with his PCP thats key
Is he still alive?
Yes 👍
I trust he changed primary care physicians.
My mom is suffering from pancreatic cancer and diagnosed as stage 4. Some of the tumor has already spread to liver. Is it possible to remove pancreas and implant liver? She’s now in ICU and I couldn’t meet her bc I’m in quarantine. I’m so sadd.. I don’t want to lose her. ㅠㅠ
I know what you are going through. This happened to my mother too with pancreatic cancer. Once its spread to the liver they can't do any surgery. Spend as much time with her as you can.
@@ducheau100 unfortunately, I lost my mom the day before yesterday. I wish I could spend more time with her a little bit. Thank you for your kindness anyway..
@@5we21n I wonder how likely I am to die from something like this since my grandfather got it and died? My upper left side hurts but it's not super bad. Oh well.
Good morning sir
My dad is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2019 with stag 4 and he had gone through 9 cycles of chemotherapy and 1 cycle of target therapy but still he had to recover frm it can u please provide me more details to contact u and get treatment
Please update
And if you were just a regular Joe like 99% of us.. forget that you will get this kind of surgery if you can't pay for it. So yeah.. Im dead if this happens to me.
@Sheree Hardin lol... are you joking... they will help you ... if they can attach a $26,000 debt to you... what a joke....
good thing we have 26th in medical care and spend more than any other country.... so mathematically sound... nothing is wrong there...
."..njoy the mandates " fed govt. circa current year
In America.
I’m so sorry. I pray this changes
Yes sir
You right
Please try auto urine-therapy and medicinal mushroom for cancer
when my mom is suffering from cancer you laugh at me
Has anyone experienced extreme itching as a symptom of pancreatic cancer
Yes it is a symptom
You mean constantly itching?
I'm 15 and I have been recently feeling a little pain in my upper right back. I also have a little pain in my stomach and both of these occur from time to time, I need to know if I have cancer. I'm scared for my life and I don't want to die.

I don't know the family faith but trust me some prayer warriors and some strong faith went up to God beside the medical doctors and medicine God has the last saying word of God said by his son stripes we are healed by the blood! I losta friend of mine due to cancer I say this to the family give God all the glory this here is a burning testimony prophet Isaiah said the yoke shall be destroyed by the anointing! So get your praise break on start shouting!! Amen
Really a shame that Cryosurgery isn’t standard of care for Pancreatic Cancer!
I was advised my doctor I have pancreas cancer. I don’t know what to do. I am poor and cannot pay for the treatment.
I'm so sorry 💔. How are you doing now?
I used herbal. Hope that my cancer will reduce and more prayers. I can’t find funds for my chemo and upcoming operations.
How old are you? Where are you from? Is it rare type which is treatable?

You shouldn’t remove the whole pancreas. What’s up with that?

Honestly I’m a extremely worried too because I have been having diarrhea and a sore throat for 6 weeks now and my symptoms have been getting worse, I feel stomach pain that can last all day and then goes away for a day or two and comes back. My stool is pale and I found my Virchow’s lymph nodes swollen. What should I do?

How are you feeling now!
@@boatergirl4811 I’m perfectly fine
And how much it will cost in your country?
Nothing (Sweden)
@@AverageArtz It always costs money, it's about whether or not taxpayers pay the bill. Nothing is free.
No other country will do this surgery. Canada has people waiting for over 5 years on cancer treatment some just go to the usa. Norway had an article about people dying before treatment for cancer because the wait was that long. Not sure about norway or other nordic health care systems but here in Canada we have a rationing system it seems to be that way in most countries too. Basically if it's surgery done by a specialist surgeon ie not At your local hospital prepare to wait years. Most physicians flat out tell people with pancreatic cancer to go to the us if they have money that's what they told my neighbors wife but thankfully it was a misdiagnoses
@Mr. Joe Does Asia Christ. Im so happy i live in australia. Its all paid by the govt.
@Mr. Joe Does Asia Please consider go fund me dot com. There you can raise money for this, and the important thing is if you need it, you have an avenue. Start out with getting the plane ticket back to the U.S. Then, go from there. If you call Johns Hopkins, they may know some way for you to get financial assistance, and you're an American citizen. Don't resign yourself to a hard death. You don't deserve it! God doesn't give us more than we can handle. When you fall down, you've got to get back up again. Don't let the devil win! Please don't be angry with God, either, because He allows things like this to happen to us. We have choices. We have free will, and we have the freedom to stand up to cancer. That is also the name of an organization that helps people with cancer. It's su2c.org. There's the American Cancer Society as well, and you can call them at (800) 4acsnow. They also may have financial resources. Don't just throw in the towel. You may not realize it, but God may be looking at your response, and He sometimes uses situations like these to see how willing we are to overcome the challenges we face. It just might inspire someone else. I really hope you read this very soon, because you deserve to take this challenge. I just hope I'm not too late!
God bless.
