Deb,
Here is a link to some information on the closed pancreatic cancer trial. The drug is called Sutent.http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/142130.php
Kris
Great information Kris…I told her daughter tonight about it. She asked if I knew what it was…I am not so great on the computer and am not quite sure ‘how’ to look it up but I will try.. It sounds so hopeful and hope is what we all need! I also agree that these cancers seem similar in some respects and the treatments also appear to be the similar as well. AMY, you are right it is not fair…..never is suffering fair. I am trying to figure out the best way I can help ….and I think if she joins this compassionate family right here at the cc board will bring her so many answers and understanding and a place to just ‘let it all out’ in a supportive nonjudgemental environment. I have continued to to receive such great supports here and will be forever grateful to this ‘cc family’ …time to go to bed hugs to all, God Bless , deb
Deb,
I am sorry your family is experiencing another cancer. Pancreatic cancer is one of the few cancers that can still scare me. But, there is hope on the horizon there too. A couple of months ago there was a drug trial for some treatment which they actually stopped….not because it didnt work, but because it worked so well they wanted to stop those getting a placebo and switching them to the drug. You might want to google it to see what comes up…and just think it could be good news for us as well as pancreatic and cc often respond to the same treatments.Hoping for the the best for your second mom..

Deb, I am so sorry to hear about your “second mom.” Why are all of these terrible things growing in our bodies? It just isn’t fair!!!!! Yes, please tell her to join us. I am sure that this is an overwhelming time for her.
Love, Amy
Deb…Please, send my love to your best friend’s Mom. Asking her to join the CC site is a wonderful idea and very much welcome. Deb, I also remember that John Hopkins has a website specifically for Pancreatic Cancer patients. It might also be helpful.
Tons of good wishes
MarionForgive me , it has been difficult to celebrate my good fortune…my best friends mom has just been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. She has been like a mom to me my whole life and I want to tell her everything will be ok….that she will do as well as I have. I beleive in miracles and am praying for many more because no one should suffer like many already have. I have suggested to my other ‘mom’ to check out this site and see how wonderful and supportive everyone is. And that there is so much kindness compassion and so much information that may help her make some better informed choices. I know she does not have cc but so much is similar..and everyone here is so kind. She is struggling with side effects from her chemo..I beleive it is gembicide??? Pain and bowel issues and lack of information and support is overwhelming. She has always been very healthy and active and can out walk/run her daughter anyday of the week I hear..and the next week this bomb is dropped..she was told there is no treatment and she has a year to live by one dr and 2 to 3 with treatment by another. Her daughter is my best friend and nurse who hooked me up with the doctors that saved my life @ Lahey Clinic. I am hoping I can do something to help her mom..maybe someone here knows of some success stories I can share with her. God Bless you all…
DebDon’t ever, ever feel guilty about good news. Everyone on this site needs all the hope that can come their way and the beauty of our Board is that everyone is so happy to hear someone’s good news!!!
thanks everyone…I hope the good luck spreads all over this site..you ALL deserve it! I sometimes feel guilty about posting my own good news while others struggle against the same cc with not such great luck. I pray that the good luck spreads faster than any $#%@ cancer!!! God Bless, deb
Deb,
Such news is fantastic. It spreads hope and sometimes that is all we need. May the good results continue.Kris
