Pancreatic cancer stage iv survivors
If you want to be part of the small group of pancreatic cancer stage iv survivors you need to be very strong!
Stage 4 pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer has reached stage 4 if the tumor has spread from the pancreas to other organs like lungs, kidney or liver. In the last case you then have metastatic liver cancer like father.
Pancreatic cancer stage iv survivors are little
Unfortunately there are no much survivors that underwent chemotherapy. The typical drug used will be 5-FU, the same chemotherapy they advised my father not to take. Why not? Because father would have been killed by the chemotherapy in stead of the metastatic liver cancer. It’s a very difficult choice to make.
People with stage 4 pancreatic cancer do get chemotherapy, but you need to know that this is just part of palliative care, meaning, it’s not meant to cure you but to make your life as good as possible. As good as possible could mean every 2 weeks chemotherapy of which you will be 1 week vomiting in bed.
But the stage had been set: we are already talking here about palliative care and no more about a cancer cure. As said before, there are very few pancreatic cancer stage iv survivors.
