They gave me 3-12 months. Today is 36 months. That's 3 years!!!
Hey everyone! Just wanted to do a bit of a celebration dance. On Aug 18, 2023 I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with mets to the liver and lymph nodes. I was given a time line of 3-12 months. That was exactly 3 years ago today!! I was non surgical and no radiation, just chemo to prolong life. I always told my oncologist quality over quantity. I didn't always follow her rules/suggestions. I enjoyed my Rhum, my wife and I flew to beautiful islands (we love snorkeling!) and I was bound and determined to enjoy what little amount of retirement I had left with my wife (I was 49 at diagnosis).
Can't lie, I've been off chemo now since February. Now just pain management. But...we're still using our motorhome. Traveling around. Some days are good. Some are terrible. But hey....3 years!!!
I'm definitely not bragging. I obviously understand what everyone on this sub is going through. My hat is off and my drink held high to you all. I just thought a positive message would be appreciated.
Best of luck to you all!! You're in my wife and I's thoughts!!!
Keep going Zev!! You've been a huge inspiration to me!! Cheers my Reddit friend.
