Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer
I have a family member who was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in February. The cancer had metastasized into both the spleen and liver. He has been through 4 chemo treatments so far and had a scan this past week to check on the progress. His body is reacting well to the treatments so far. The spots on the spleen are completely gone, the liver ones have stayed the same/maybe even shrunk a little, and the pancreatic tumor has not grown at all. However, it’s hard to tell since they don’t usually see how the tumor is responding until after 5 or 6 chemo treatments so it’s still early. If the chemo stops working correctly then the doctor approved him for the daraxonrasid trial treatment pill. I read that this treatment option along with the previous chemo treatments can shrink or even get rid of the liver spots and even the tumor on the pancreas. Does anyone know if it’s possible for the liver spots to disappear from chemo alone and/or the daraxonrasid? I’d love to hear personal stories through this process. I’m trying to remain positive that remission is possible since his body seems to be responding well to treatment so far but it has been an extremely difficult process.
