Re: Need response quickly please on Pancreatic Cancer!

Hi there, I am very proud to say that I am a 12 yr (last oct 7th) survivor of pancreatic cancer! I am here because I was on the forum and just stumbled into this category. I had a rare form that about only 200 people a year get. Islet cell. At first they thought it was a gall stone. They said there was nothing I could do until I found an "angel" of a doctor and he referred me to a surgeon. I had the whipple and they took 9 lymph nodes and my spleen I think. They wouldn't let me go home without a morphine fanny pack. Needless to say I got that right off as soon as I could with my husbands total support. My husband immediately got me on a regimen of several teas including the big one for me, Cats claw. I did not have one more bite of meat when they told me. I started to eat small meals through the day which really helps with digestion. You want to give your body as little crap to process as possible. Believe me, I know when I've stuffed too much at one sitting. My surgeon told me to do this in the beginning. I get exercise every day if I can. Running is my favorite. It helps me mentally and physically. My husband supporting me 110% and he's the reason I am still here. Plus we had a 5 yr old when I was diagnosed. A reason to stay healthy or get healthy. I feel like if there was something that was making my body a perfect breeding ground for the disease I was going to take away all the things that were possibly doing that. This may not be for many people but my husband I stayed away from anyone that might bring negativity into my life about the subject. A lot of people are hell bent on letting you know that you have to except a fate that was given to you. DO NOT listen to them, better yet just stay away if you can. I loved two doctors that helped me along the way but I have a fear of them and have not done any follow up. I go for other things when I absolutely have to. It's my choice. I don't really know if any of this helps. I am proof that people can kick cancer.
I have taken up a few bad habits that can be toxic to me lately and maybe that is one reason I came across your post
today. Get my head on straight. Back to NO Sugar is one biggie. But we are all human and perfection isn't my goal but getting as close to that as possible is safer.

My two favorite words during recovery: Faith and Hope I had an angel card I picked that said faith when I first came home and I put it where I would see it EVERY day. Well, there it is..... Tweet
