Any other survivors here?
5 years ago today I underwent a pylorus preserving Whipple procedure to remove an adenocarcinoma, which was in the head of my pancreas. I had 16 chemo treatments from mid-July to mid-December that year.
As of 19 May 2020, when I spoke with my oncologist about the blood work and CT scan performed earlier in the month, I am officially 5 years showing No Evidence of Disease.

When I called Friday to doublecheck my usual 6-month later in November, nurse said it's been cancelled. Oncologist is of the opinion that I am in remission. 14 November 2020 will make 5 1/2 years post-diagnosis.
I am now on an annual follow up schedule, starting next May.
