Pancreatic Cancer - Update

Hi Everyone,
A few months ago I started a thread when I was diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer. I received so many supportive responses that I wanted to give anyone who is interested an update.
I began chemo back in November and had my 4th treatment last week. It is not to bad - you have good days and bad days. Bad part is I have chemo every two weeks and I start feeling good on day 11 so I only have 3 days of feeling really great.
The good news is I saw a Radiation Oncologist and he determined I will NOT need radiation! I was really scared of radiation especially the 5 days a week for 5 weeks part. He is also of the opinion that a few more rounds of chemo and I should be a candidate for the Whipple surgery. When I was first diagnosed none of my doctors were talking about it being viable. The Whipple surgery will remove the tumor and extend my life expectancy by about 5 years or more.
I have booked all the arrangements for my first bucket list trip. My husband and I fly out on 2/13 to Alaska to see the Northern Lights at Chena Hot Springs Resort (thanks to RTS for reminding me about Chena). Hopefully we get to see the lights.
Again, I want to thank all of you for your kind words and support.
