I am sorry to hear about your prognosis. Pancreatic cancer is difficult to control. A number of novel and possibly effective treatments are on the horizon; I recently read about this new radiopharmaceutical developed in Germany. It builds upon our extensive experience with Lu-177 - a well tolerated and effective isotope that is currently used to treat neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancers. If other treatments fail, you may be a candidate for this treatment.
I will pray for your continued strength and peace of mind.

Thanks for the link Radioactive. Problem is they think it has metastasized to the stomach lining. When my CA-19 markers started climbing (from 16 to 380) I did a PET and nothing showed up. My surgeon and oncologist think it is in the back lining of the stomach and that is why it is not showing up on the scans. Had a second scan today in hopes they can find exactly where it is but I have been warned they may never be able to pinpoint it's location. Since it is not a tumor really only thing that can be done is chemo to slow it down. That is the reason for the grim prognosis.
