Lu Ann: I met a lady in my oncology last February who had pancreatic cancer stage 4 I believe, and she went to a Boston hospital I think, it was Dana Farber. She had extensive surgery in the abdominal area. She stayed in Boston for two months to recover as she had to be near the hospital. At that time she was doing well and was expected to have a long term survivial. She was being featured on several TV shows and magazines. I did not get her phone number however, I can call the oncology and see if they will give her my number to call me. I know they will not tell me her name or give me her number. Let me know if you would like me to do this for you. They know I do lots of phone and e-mail support so I am sure it will not be a problem. That is what we are here for is to help each other. hugs, Sandy
