I'm just wondering if my j pouch will do me some good now, since I have pancreatic cancer and it is the toughest cancer in the world to defeat?   And I admit I am really scared right now, chances are I will be dead in 5 years or less.   Also would it be a bad idea to take iron now because of the cancer?  I'm sorry I just have so much on my mind now.  I was diagnosed back in July 2020 and chemo has failed me.  If anybody knows of any alternatives I could use, I would be happy to listen to you.

I am so sorry that you have this diagnosis. I would love to tell you that not having a colon would make a difference in your prognosis, but I cannot imagine how it would impact it. My dad had pancreatic cancer, so I do understand how helpless you must feel right now. The Lustgarden Foundation is a front runner in research and can help you navigate your options. Hugs!
