Our family physician ordered the CT scan that led to a diagnosis of Jay’s #PancreaticCancer at an early stage (2b)! His family cancer history, his ashkenazi Jewish heritage on his mum’s side, & his unrelenting upper belly pain, were just the sorts of variables that SHOULD have led to imaging, but we were lucky. #FamilyPhysicians are seen 1st, & need to be educated on the symptoms of #PancreasCancer, as well as other factors that increase risk. Early diagnosis = improved outcomes.

Dr Eileen O’Reilly at #MSK ordered germline & somatic testing soon after Jay’s diagnosis with #PancreaticCancer, years before it was an #ASCO guideline. He was found to have a gBRCA1 mutation - targetable by #PARP inhibitor #olaparib - allowing a welcome chemo break. So grateful for the eight years we had post-diagnosis.

Cases of #PancreasCancer are rising by about 1% per year.
#PancreaticCancer is expected to be the 2d leading cause
of cancer death by 2030, but the 5 year survival rate is
increasing too.
More cases.
More survivors.
More advocacy by patients.
We must do better.

November is #PancreaticCancer awareness month!
I’m grateful to pancan.org for the work they do to increase survival for individuals with #PancreasCancer. Donate, & shop at the online store! Here, hoodie, reusable shopping bags, purple beads, wristbands, tee! #StockingStuffers -

J’s #PancreaticCancer was borderline resectable, abutting the portal vein. The portal vein was rebuilt during surgery; still, he emerged from the #Whipple with positive margins & lymph nodes, staged at 2b. Six weeks later he began seven months of adjuvant chemo and chemo/radiation. Today, a decade later, he’d likely have been treated with neoadjuvant chemo, with the goal of negative surgical margins. Practices are evolving, with better outcomes! #Hope -
November is #PancreasCancer awareness month, and I’m in my #purple zone!
#KnowTheSigns: abdominal/back pain, nausea, weight loss, stool change, jaundice, new onset diabetes. Family history too.
See your doctor. Get tested.

NOVEMBER MEANS PANCREAS CANCER AWARENESS!
My husband survived #PancreaticCancer for 8+ years. His only symptom was unrelenting pain in his upper belly. We were lucky his attentive GP ordered a CT scan, which showed an abnormailty on the pancreas. #PancreasCancer was diagnosed following MRI & endoscopic needle biopsy. He was scheduled for the complex #Whipple surgery within two weeks of diagnosis. The pain began in December, the CT was early January, and he was in the OR by late/mid January. -

Life threw a growing #PublicHealth concern my way. #PancreasCancer is on track to become the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths by 2030. As I contemplate the care my husband received at #ColumbiaSurgery and at #MSKCancerCenter I’m reminded that we were very lucky. Many people — perhaps most — are not. And patients shouldn’t require the luck of geography, superior insurance, or a decent bank balance to access basic cancer care. #HealthCareAccess -

Sometimes fate throws a #PublicHealth issue your way. Today is World #PancreaticCancer Day & as I contemplate the extraordinary care we received at #ColumbiaPresbyterian & #MSKCC, I’m reminded of those who haven’t access to such care. We were lucky…….but you shouldn’t have to be. #PancreasCancer #PDAC

Today is World #PancreaticCancer Day. Along with remembering those who lost their lives to #PancreasCancer since #WPCD 2021, I’m remembering Jay and feeling hopeful that science is on the precipice of a deeper understanding of the complexities of #PDAC.

November is #PancreaticCancer awareness month. Jay’s first symptoms were an ache in his upper belly, lethargy, and a loss of interest in taking the long walks we enjoyed. He was depressed — and aware something was amiss.

Jay maintained a healthy diet & never smoked, yet was diagnosed with #pancreascancer. Tested at MSK, he was found to have a #BRCA defect. His mother & aunt died of breast & ovary cancers in their 30s. Genetic testing is now recommended for everyone with #pancreaticcancer.
