▲ 44 r/pancreaticcancer
My mom (71- 70 at time of diagnosis) was diagnosed with inoperable Stage 4 pancan in February with mets to her liver.
After 3 chemo treatments (gemcitabine/abraxane) her CA-19-9 dropped by 60%. She had an updated pet scan after her 6th treatment which confirmed the CA-19-9 drop. Her tumor is 50% less active and has also decreased in size. No new mets in body and her liver mets have reduced as well.
She has had a few bad weeks and her bloodwork dropped to dangerous levels, but her body is replenishing well 💜
Just wanted to share with everyone. I am so happy- she is my best friend
