I had the same story Eric had. At the age of 38 I was diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer. I'm still alive after the whipple procedure and I am truly blessed and thankful

I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Did chemo and radiation. My tumor was attached to the artery. Luckily it shrank. They removed the bottom half of my pancreas and spleen. I am now going into my 10 th year cancer free.

At age 70, I biked 20 miles one Saturday. Within a week, I turned yellow. I saw my primary care doctor on Thursday,. After failing a blood test at his office, I had endoscopic surgery on Friday, with the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer a week later. Testing continued. A month later I had whipple surgery. After 6 months of chemotherapy followed by liver damage for 5 months, I am now cancer free with a healed liver. Praise to God! All my treatment including surgery was within 40 miles of my home in West Virginia. This has all occurred since May 1, 2019. I lead a normal life except for neuropathy.

He is so profoundly lucky as most people diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer die within a year. Five years after diagnosis and he is healthy with a good life This is really inspiring.

This is beyond rare, its almost a winning lottery ticket. You should feel extremely blessed..

I lost my father 4 weeks ago, he had pancreatic cancer stage IV. He was diagnosed in October 2019 and had the whipple procedure done in June 2020 but unfortunately the cancer came back elsewhere. He was the strongest man I knew and I am so proud of him. This video is truly inspiring so never lose hope!

my mom was just diagnosed... im trying to be strong to be a strong support system but i cant stop crying

My father was just diagnosed with PC last month. This story has given me hope. I am happy to see such a beautiful family share more time together. God bless you all!

My brother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. Was admitted to JH but unfortunately the cancer had already spread to other organs. The care he received at JH was beyond words. All the nurses and most doctors were so caring. Thank you JH for treating my Brother with dignity and respect until his last seconds on earth.

Most people live 3-4 months after being diagnosed.. But my dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.. By the time they found out, it was stage 4 and they said he'd only life 3 months, he lived with it for 5 and a half years, then in March he passed away.

My grandfather suffer from it I'm so depressed I dont know what to do I love him so much I hope he is going to get better everyone your health is the most important thing there are people that love you from the bottom of their heart so be thankful.Anyways thanks for reading wish you all the best.🙏

Truly inspiring ! My husband has been diagnosed with a tumor in pancreas , will get the biopsy report after 3 days. We are devastated but your story gives us strength and hope. I m sure my husband will be fine. God bless you ❤️❤️ Need prayers for my husband's complete recovery 🙏🙏

My wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in November of 2016. She had excellent treatment at UPMC in Pittsburgh. She did chemo and radiation but died from blood loss after the Whipple surgery on August 24th 2017. The chemo and radiation had damaged the veins too badly, and she essentialy bled to death. We had the joy of celebrating our 50th anniversary in April of 2017. Oddly, prior to her diagnosis, while she was hospitalized for pancreatitis, she showed no cancer markers at all. She told the docs that she knew she had cancer, but no one was believing her. Finally, they did a needle biopsy, and the nightmare began. I miss her every day. My youngest son is a palliative care doc, and he told me from the beginning that it would be fatal to his mom. He uses his experience and teaches everyone he can about the importance of Advanced Directives, Health Care POAs and living wills.

My grandfather is suffering from Pancreatic Cancer at Stage 4. The doctors are trying to give him as much care as possible and trying their best to keep him alive.

Praying for you, Eric. Keep the faith and keep fighting.

Last night I found out my grandma had pancreatic cancer. It’s really hard. 6 years ago. My older sister died at the age of 15 from a brain tumour. This gives me some hope. Thank you

God bless everyone ! My friend had pancreatic cancer in stage 4 praying for miracles from God!

So good to see a man who has survived pancreatic cancer. Just hope it doesn’t reoccur in him as it often does with people. My mother died from pancreatic cancer. She had the Whipples surgery but the cancer came back and spread to her liver and lung. She stayed alive for about 18 months after diagnosis

I just wanted to say that my mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She went to chemo and had two surgeries even though they didn’t want to operate at all. Doctor successfully removed everything and she is now recovering. When she got sick we had no idea about this illness, what are the statistics, can you even cure this and all those questions and that’s when I started searching on the internet. I noticed that people are very negative. I get that you are not in a good place or someone close to you may have died from this, but comments like PC is a death sentence is not going to help anyone. It’s irresponsible to write things like that. You are taking people’s hope and that’s all they’ve got. All I can say is that whatever the circumstances are, you must HOPE, because it’s the biggest power you can have. We are so much more than statistics.

Terrible the way the doc delivered the news but so glad you made it through the surgery and treatment. I’m really happy for you and your family, stay blessed.

Thank you everyone for the support in the comments. I very much understand your indescribable volume of great losses but it is people like you who become a cancer activist and inform others about it and make a huge difference. I'm sure there are people in medical community that had one of their relative go with this tough times and it made them hard to keep venturing into a deep research to find at least a good probability of survival ratio one day. Thank you everyone and don't be dishearten that you lost someone but remember the best memories you had with them and further inspiring the funding for medical science to have a better future for all of us as humans ahead. Be blessed 😊🙏🙏

My father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His weight peaked at 185 at his time of death he was around 115. Terrible pain the last moment of his life, throwing up lost of appetite. He only survived 7 months and they diagnosed his cancer at 6 months. Rip papa. I miss you.

Unbelievably lucky. Surviving this is very unusual. Good for him.

Simply an amazing story! I wish you well.

My grandmother had this..it killed her in four months. I miss her all the time.

My dad has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this video gives me hope 🥊

Great story, my grandpa just died of pancreatic cancer 5 days ago surrounded by his family, he went to a doctor last September 2022 and the doctor said his cancer is already on stage 4, he can only survive less than a year

My brother went to the ER at a local hospital due to back pain of 1 week radiating to the stomach. He had tried to return to work 1 day and had to keep sitting down with fatigue and being out of breath. After 3 days in hospital, having had bloodwork, CT scans, endoscopy, and biopsies, he was diagnosed with stage IV PC. Chemotherapy was considered but soon abandoned as it was found the cancer had spread so extensively. He was sent home on hospice and died 55 hours later. Crazy how you could be working, grocery shopping, fueling up your car, and managing a backache and be dead 10 days later.

My friend had symptoms for 20 years. They were operating to clear a blocked bile duct when they found stage IV. Since she was opened they performed Whipple surgery that they do not like performing on a regular person that far. She went into remission after two years. Three years it came back. She passed at 5 years. We knew the odds were none existent once it came back. This is one of the worst

My mom's grandma died of breast cancer. Then my mom's three cousins died of leukemia, gastric cancer and last one with brain tumor. Now recently, my mother's sister died of kidney cancer. So sad for all. All diagnosed in last stages.

How’s he doing now ? Any info please ?

If somebody responsive to the therapy, the miracles occurs

My niece and nephew dad die from that cancer this week…I hope they find a cure for other families don’t have to loose their love one.

Thank you for this video

My dad was recently diagnosed pancreatic cancer stage 4 , it's literally eating me Alive watching My dad go through this

My uncle got diagnosed in November 2021. I haven't seen him in more than 2 years which makes me disappointed. Before I took him for granted,and now I wish I would have seen him more. It keeps getting worse too. He has a feeding tube down his throat now. 2 of my uncles had this type of cancer. 1 uncle was Bob,he died right before I was born and I was named after him,Bobbi. Now,12 years later,my other uncle,Norm,has the same cancer. Luckily he got diagnosed early and is getting treated. He's living with his gf rn,she used to be a nurse so I'm not that scared bc at least if something happens,she'll be there. If I had 3 wishes I would literally wish for:Everyone's pain/cancer/anxiety/depression/etc to go away. 2nd: For each part of covid to go away (covid 19,delta,omicron) 3rd: Everyone to have food and homes:) That's all I want. I'm crying now..😔

My teacher who was my EA teacher helper that helped me in school when i was alot younger has passed away from this cancer and i never new she had cancer. I found out she had this cancer after she died I miss her 💔 so much and still hurting. She died a feel years ago. I would of been there for her and support her and hug if she was still alive. But i wish i was there for her if i knew early before she died. I feel like its my fault for not knowing 💔 just gonna blame it on me cuz I never knew 😢 at least she's not in pain anymore and that she's in a better and not suffering from this awful horrible disease. 💔💔💔💔 i wish to tell Eric that I lost my childhood teacher to this cancer 😢😢😢😢

All prayers to my father (54 Y/O), he left us a month ago due to pancreatic cancer stage 4 metastatic to the liver... Worried of being a carrier of pancreatic cancer genes 😢 can't stop the anxiety

God bless you Eric - eat healthy , meditate and hug your kids everyday as well as your lovely wife - God bless you ❤️👍

Amazing!

How are you now? How monitorizing the evolution ? I have pancreatic cancer too and tomorow start chemmo . Thank you !

God is good sir may he keep blessing you and family

Is Eric still alive though? I sincerely hope he is. Updates would be helpful having gone through the effort of sharing this story.

Here is my pancreatic cancer story somewhat similar to Eric's. I was diagnosed on Jan31, 2020. Stage 2 B in the tail of my pancreas. It was cut put along with my spleen. I started chemo in March and just finished. CT scan showed no cancer.. I was treated locally here in Oregon.

Wow this video host close to home my grandpa passed away from pancreatic cancer 3/2/21 his doctors didn’t do much to help his cancer was stage 4 and he didn’t last a year after he was diagnosed he will be missed

How old were you when you were diagnosed?

My father passed on October 1, 2019 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in August 2016 we live in Indianapolis but he would travel to have his treatment in New York (mt siani) manhattan he had chemotherapy in October 2016 and in June 2017 had radiation after that they said we just wait 3 months after those 3 months there wasn’t a difference instead the cancer was showing signs of spreading our worst fears came true in March 2019 and eventually in September (2019) it spread to his lungs and he was on a breathing machine and his doctor told us he’s not gonna live longer and eventually went it to cardiac arrest even with the breathing machine I never thought he was gonna leave and he always had hope for new treatment it’s tuff but at the end of the day what could you do but look back and see what you could’ve done differently

Is he still with us? Thanks

If you can chose what cancer not to get, it is pancreatic! This was an amazing positive story!

My dad passed December, 3, 2023 of stage 4 pancreas cancer. It was too late when they found it. He passed about a month after initial diagnosis

My dads name was Eric and he had pancreatic cancer and he sadly passed a couple months ago😢

Why is there so much pancreatic cancer? What is going on? My girlfriend age 70 is not doing well from it. Hospice has been called. She did everything to fight it even going to a clinic in Mexico! I am PRAYING for a miracle because the Lord DOES miracles still! I know two women ages 42 and 66 who died from it. The masseuse at the gym was just diagnosed with it as well. What is going on?? It’s so odd how cancer has become so prevalent.

Which Chemotherapy was given? Any Post Operative Chemotherapy was also involved? Please share

That's great! I think getting that level of treatment is great. I'm not sure if everyone is able to though.

Most of the survivor video is to promote the medical facilities. It might not be true. My father had had pancreatic cancer, he died in 2 years 15 days. He did not use much pain killer. Pain killer and chemo are the reason of death, not just tumor

Amazing

Really lucky guy!

My father had nasopherynx cancer in 2020 , after doing the treatment the dr said it was cured later after 4-6 months (not sure) the cancer come back again and we do the chemotherapy again and today we went for checkup ... my father used to have severe back pain like 1 month ago so we told about the pain to our Dr. then she said "that can also be caused by your kidney" and told us to do ultrasound... but the ultrasound result shock us ... they found out that some serious is happening in his liver and his pancreas so , we are told to do ct and endoscope and colonoscopy... we are waiting our results it'll be declared by tomorrow morning... i hope we get a good result though it is hopeless... I'm hurt seeing my father suffering this much pain😔

I wonder if this guy realise how lucky he is.

May God bless him🙏

RIP Wanda

My father had carcenoma pancrease. But biopsy result was not sure about cancer. He didn't get enough treatment.he died 2 months ago😕.

Nice story. Mine friend just died this night from it. She had only 3 months from when diagnosed. Sad.

Just found out my dad has cancer .. and another type of caner near his liver . I feel lost love my dad . Just why cancer ?

My wife pancreas cancer liver age 65 I lost two friends drinking soda pop I cried

Is he still alive?

My husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. That wasn't actually there... He went in for an endoscopic ultrasound. (Alone, at the begining of the pandemic.) Woke him up and told him he had cancer. (Alone.) Then we were put into overdrive. Doctor appointment after doctor appointment. CT scans and blood tests. They decided on chemo for 6 months, surgery and then another round of chemo. They called it the most aggressive regimen. A few months into chemo his pain was excruciating. Another CT scan and they said the tumor was growing. So we pushed up surgery. We had the surgery at Loyola in Chicago. They removed 2/3rds of his pancreas and his spleen. We waited weeks for a pathology report. Eventually getting a call from the surgical oncologist to tell us that there was no evidence of cancer. NO CANCER. No evidence of dead cells killed by chemo. Nothing. Got his port removed and sent us on our way. We haven't recovered. Edit: the *cancerous tumor* was actually a pseudocyst. Pancreatitis A typical cells.

Hiieee there everyone, just a quick question if someone can help me out please....i was diagnosed with gastritis but doctors were confused as to why i lose so much weight. My question if there's anyone with any kinda similar symtoms do have a lump on the left hand side just below rips. Please do let me know please

My mom is suffering from pancreatic cancer and diagnosed as stage 4. Some of the tumor has already spread to liver. Is it possible to remove pancreas and implant liver? She’s now in ICU and I couldn’t meet her bc I’m in quarantine. I’m so sadd.. I don’t want to lose her. ㅠㅠ

I feel him in a way, I have type 1 diabetes

Eric my brother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer little over a year ago he went to the er in June 2022 they took half of his intestines out and moved his stomach the cancer spreader to his stomach and intestines less than a month after the surgery he passed away 07/25/2022 they say him having diabetes caused all of it

I caused myself pain in the line that goes right down the middle of the stomach by pressing it really hard in the skin

Good morning sir My dad is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2019 with stag 4 and he had gone through 9 cycles of chemotherapy and 1 cycle of target therapy but still he had to recover frm it can u please provide me more details to contact u and get treatment

I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer just over a year ago. It was stage 2B and the lesion was on the tail. I finished chemo in October and there was NO cancer. I just had my CA19-9 checked and it was 100. The last time i had it checked in November it was 24. I am having it repeated. I am extremely nervous about it. Yes I know that alone doesn't mean anything. My oncologist said it could be from inflammation. I'm staying positive until I find out

Most with pancreatic cancer will never get this level of care. Be inspired by it, but our experience will be worse.

My mother went to Hopkins for Pancreatic Cancer. They couldnt do much other than Chemo. Really they could do no more than any other medical facility. What they gave her was too strong. She could only take two doses. She ultimately went to hospice and died.

❤️.

Fuck yeah Eric!!! You did it

If you had pancreatitis in the past as well as chronic pancreatitis you will eventually end up with a IPMN which will turn into cancer. It will feel like an ache on your left side mostly when you eat fatty meat or fatty foods. If it is discovered in time you can get the whipple procedure but depending how much of a IPMN you have determines how much of your pancreas you will be left with. The Whipple procedure recovery is brutal AF and you will be in pain for months afterwards, you will be taking antacids like candy and protonix. You'll only be able to eat food out of a 9oz ramekin twice a day. You will have muscle degeneration and have trouble walking without a cane or walker. You will have to take stool softeners and maylox or you will have constipation from hell, if you dont get your bowls moving you will have bile build up and will be vomiting like crazy and end up in the hospital. You will have to get endoscopy done every 6 months to check whats left of your pancreas, you could very well end up a diabetic after the whipple procedure. If you pass on the whipple procedure your alternative is death. 6 months after the whipple you will have chronic fatigue, problems with digestion unless you keep up with the stool softener. You will be noticeably weaker, less muscle mass. If you eat too much of a fatty food you will easily get pains like pancreatitis in whats left of your pancreas. If you had chronic pancreatitis or pancreatitis in the past if i were you I'd lie to your doctor and tell him/her you have a pain in your left side and had pancreatitis before and what a CT scan or better an endoscopy. People die from pancreatic cancer a month or more or less after being diagnosed is because this thing is growing inside of you and you cant tell until its at then last stage where it gives you great pain all the sudden.

And if you were just a regular Joe like 99% of us.. forget that you will get this kind of surgery if you can't pay for it. So yeah.. Im dead if this happens to me.

Why not remove it?

I trust he changed primary care physicians.

Has anyone experienced extreme itching as a symptom of pancreatic cancer

I was advised my doctor I have pancreas cancer. I don’t know what to do. I am poor and cannot pay for the treatment.

Any survivor ? I got pancreatic cancer 51 and. I m desperate !

he was persistent with his PCP thats key

I'm 15 and I have been recently feeling a little pain in my upper right back. I also have a little pain in my stomach and both of these occur from time to time, I need to know if I have cancer. I'm scared for my life and I don't want to die.

when my mom is suffering from cancer you laugh at me

My father in law just today expired because of this disease 😭😭😭

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Please try auto urine-therapy and medicinal mushroom for cancer

Really a shame that Cryosurgery isn’t standard of care for Pancreatic Cancer!

Beautiful wife

I can't believe world richest person died with this cancer!

My father is suffering this disease kindly pray for himm...kindly tell me more...if patient is normal just weight losting..nd yellowish eyes any chance too live ..we are poor peoples

❤

I don't know the family faith but trust me some prayer warriors and some strong faith went up to God beside the medical doctors and medicine God has the last saying word of God said by his son stripes we are healed by the blood! I losta friend of mine due to cancer I say this to the family give God all the glory this here is a burning testimony prophet Isaiah said the yoke shall be destroyed by the anointing! So get your praise break on start shouting!! Amen

And how much it will cost in your country?

Honestly I’m a extremely worried too because I have been having diarrhea and a sore throat for 6 weeks now and my symptoms have been getting worse, I feel stomach pain that can last all day and then goes away for a day or two and comes back. My stool is pale and I found my Virchow’s lymph nodes swollen. What should I do?

You shouldn’t remove the whole pancreas. What’s up with that?
