2. My Way Better Half's Pancreatic Cancer

Surgeon said inoperable and catastrophic results if attempted after confirmation (AKA death) had info about clinical trial.

Chemo to make cancer cell more vulnerable to radiation. It worked in that tumor shrank away from major blood vessels and she survived another three years instead of a few weeks or months.

Long enough to see sons married a few trips to visit her family.

at the end it spread to her bones.

One story one kind of cancer one clinical trial..........................

She was all in for Obama and ACA. A diabetic son and fighting health ins co' for twenty+ years and then good karma she qualified for ACA first year after she was on SSA disability. Out of pocket annual copay met after one chemo treatment.

After 24 months on disability kicked out of ACA to Medicare. Savings took huge hit then,,,prescriptions not listed equals zero dollars. Didn't mention that to her and she passed after another 3-4 months.
