Darrel had a CT scan yesterday and doctor appointment today. The cancer continues to grow despite the chemo. The doctor did not feel continuing with the treatment or going back to a previous one would do any good. He feels like it would be better for Darrel to feel good with the time he has rather than continuing chemo that isn’t really working and is making him weaker.
His blood tests are all pretty good and his liver function is still doing well, considering the liver is the most affected. It is also in his lungs but not a lot yet.
Dr. Feldman is going to email another doctor who is doing a lot of research on pancreatic cancer to see if there is an alternative treatment here in Seattle or elsewhere in the US. We will have a phone visit with him next week to see what he comes up with.
And so it goes…
Millers' Time 
Both Dave & I are so sorry to hear this news. But the Dr. is right. Quality of life at this point is very important. My first husband was very young & would have eaten dirt if his Oncologist said it might work. So the last 6 months of his life was spent going to the Doctor, feeling sick, very tired & not hungry. I will continue to pray, the Lord be with you.
Love, Sandy & Dave
there isn’t really much I can say other than I’m sorry you didn’t get a better report we are all praying and I pray especially for peace for you comfort for Darrell; and anything we can do to help you know we are here.
Ive been through thus with a dear friend and am at your beck and call. Janelle
