Islet Cell Carcinoma

Subject: RE: Islet Cell Cancer

I was diagnosed with islet cell cancer of the pancreas in 2005 after suffering for two years with "diverticulitis" Be sure to get a cat scan of pancreas if having pains.  I had surgery in Seattle and they found the tumors were in the liver.  I went without any more treatment for one year and then I was on chemo for one year and I have been without treatment for another year.  So basically I have had three excellent years with this cancer.  I have another catscan in November.  When the tumors grow again I have to decide what to do next.  I would love to hear from other people being treated for this disease.  I am 68 and am thankful for every day modern medicine and God have given me.  At first I was told I had 6 weeks to live and they couldn't do surgery   I was so fortunate to be led to a surgeon that would save my life with surgery.  I am interested in new treatments that people have tried and also chemoembolization experiences.  My friend here is have chemoembolization.
