9/10 After multiple rounds of chemotherapy the tumor is not responding favorably. Still unresectable due to major blood vessel involvement. Oncologist discussed possibility of switching to radiation therapy and perhaps a clinical trial. Telehealth appointment scheduled 9/25 with surgeon to get his perspective and discuss next steps.

This is one of my most personal (and painful) articles to date.

When I was 18 years old, my Mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She died nine months later.

Those months were some of the most beautiful and painful of my young life.

RFK Jr’s recent mRNA funding cuts have put a pancreatic cancer vaccine in jeopardy, and opened up old wounds for me and my family.

My article explores the human cost of his cruel cuts, as well as what it’s like to support a loved one through a terminal diagnosis.

A pancreatic cancer vaccine is showing promise in early trials, NBC News reports. Currently, the five-year survival rate in the disease is about 13%, and about 80% of cancers may come back. This vaccine targets one of the most common genetic drivers of cancer, KRAS gene mutations, and is designed to teach immune cells to recognize and attack cells with those mutations. The trial included 20 people with pancreatic cancer and five with colorectal cancer (KRAS mutations are also a common driver of those) who had already been treated with surgery and chemotherapy, but still had cancer cells. About 85% of the participants mounted an immune response to the KRAS mutations, and about two-thirds of those had an immune response that appears to be robust enough to tackle lingering cancer cells.

I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 19. She was only 47.

My grandmother also died from it at 53.

When Mom was diagnosed, she sat me down and said she knew exactly what I was feeling because she felt the same way when her Mom was dying.

She said she hated knowing that her girls were going to grow up without a mom.

She wasn’t afraid of dying, but she was afraid of leaving us behind.

She was sad that she would miss major milestones like graduations, marriage, grandchildren etc.

She wanted more time.

Unfortunately pancreatic cancer is quick and lethal.

It’s almost always caught too late, and few people live more than a year after diagnosis.

My Mom made it nine months.

I’m forever grateful for the time we had together and the fact that she prepared me for her passing. But I wanted more

The mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine was a beacon of hope for my family.

It was hope for so many whose lives have been touched by this deadly disease. Who’ve lost loved ones.

Who live with the fear of being diagnosed themselves.

There’s no words for the rage I feel when I think about RFK Jr’s decision to cut funding for this life saving research.

His anti-vaxx grift has already killed and disabled many people. Measles is back. Covid is still here and still killing.

Now he’s basically siding with cancer.

We deserve better than this.

We deserve an HHS leader who actually believes in science.

We deserve leaders who promote life saving interventions, robust public health and cutting edge research.

Shame on him and everyone who supports him.

Fermentation of stevia leaves by a lactic acid bacterium increases the concentration of chlorogenic acid methyl ester (CAME), which kills pancreatic cancer cells but does not harm healthy kidney cells.

ScienceOpenBoosting pancreatic cancer chemotherapy by disrupting nerve–cancer crosstalk<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d1507291e119">A preclinical study has developed a precision nano-intervention strategy targeting tumor-associated nerves to destroy nerve-fueled tumor growth in pancreatic cancer. In this strategy, <i>Escherichia coli</i> Nissle 1917-derived outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are decorated with nerve-binding peptide for targeted delivery of co-loaded tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) inhibitors to tumor-associated nerves, thus precisely inhibiting nerve activity through the neurotrophin/Trk signaling pathway. Furthermore, the OMVs trigger M2-M1 switching, thus accelerating nerve injury. This nano-intervention strategy significantly enhances chemotherapy efficacy in pancreatic cancer. </p>
