I was diagnosed with early stages of Pancreatic Cancer in June 2007. I was operated on in July 2007 with a Whipple operation by a fine physician in Baltimore at St Joseph's Hospital. I underwent 28 days of Radiation and 11 weeks of Chemotherapy treatments. So far, all my tests have indicated the cancer has not spread. My advice to others: if you have any change in your health patterns, go to a doctor immediately. Listen carefully to his/her instructions and select a surgeon who has experience in this field. Not all tumors can be operated on right away, but the sooner you catch the problem, the better the results will be. Don't be discouraged, keep a positive attitude and seek help from others.
