What was the original prognosis and life expectancy given to you, if you don't mind me asking?
No treatment - 6 months, chemo - 2 years. Whipple surgery just becoming an option - 5+ years.
Every doctor who has seen me cannot believe I am stage 3. Still have my hair and minimal weight loss. Never thought I would have doctors telling me to NOT lose weight!
My Radiation Oncologist swears I am going to beat it. He said he can walk out an exam room and he knows if that person is going to beat it based on their attitude. He said he has never seen anyone with a winning attitude like mine. Hope he is right!

Continue to fight, fight has hard as you can. I lost my mom to this terrible cancer, and I know people tend to think its sentence all the time. I really hope you beat it, I love seeing cancer get its teeth kicked in.
I miss my mom everyday, and although she lost her fight, I don't let it discourage me. She would want anyone to know that the battles may swing one way or another, but the war against cancer is far from over.
