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.

November is #PancreasCancer awareness month!
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.

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. -

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.
