Hi there Karlz9, Oh my, you are amazing!  Thank you for sharing. I opened your link and read Sandy's story.  Amazing!! How are you doing at this point? My elastace is at 24 and not sure what this means other than they gave me proton pump inhibitor which has helped w nausea.  Awaiting results of endoscopy biopsies and curious as to what they will decide to do if anything,  w my pancreas.  We shall see. I wish you the very best.  You seem like such a strong person.  A good example for me since I am a bit of a wimp.  Thank you again for sharing.  Peace     ... View more

Hi Seilien , I think her2+ and eastrogen + had more treatment options ?

Anyway I’ve reached a point where I ignore everyone and am in my own daze/ space . Some days it’s hard to ignore but yeh.. it’s perfectly normal to feel anxious , cry etc but stay hopeful. All the best with surgery . covid sucks !! I was in the hospital for 5 days due to fever / neutropenia and hated it , most of all missed my baby .  Good luck with it all xx take it one day at a time & try not to overthink ( it won’t change anything but also make you upset ).  ...

I would stay out of harms way for at least 2 months. By December I was travelling in China in Yunnan province and had completely recovered.   ... View more

Hi there, I just checked your post. I'm feeling really sad and sorry about your husband's condition. I just want to know how he is doing now? Have you visited the doctor, have you consulted with the doctor regarding these symptoms of tiredness of your husband and that he has lost his appetite. I think it could be due to the side effects of immunotherapy.  I hope he'll be all right, be by his side as much as you can.  Best wishes!  ... View more
