Is Pancreatic Cancer Treatment Better Off the Island?

Home » Blog » Pancreatic cancer
My father has Stage 1B adenocarcinoma with vascular involvement. I'm frustrated with his care in Hawaii and am considering seeking treatment at a major cancer center on the mainland for better-coordinated care.

What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Oh, for heaven’s sake, haven’t you learned yet? When it comes to something as serious as pancreatic cancer, especially with vascular involvement like your father’s, you simply cannot settle for mediocre care. I understand you’re frustrated, but trust me, a major cancer center’s team approach is what you need. You can’t just go from doctor to doctor and expect them to magically communicate about your dad’s case. It’s not going to happen! You need a place where they coordinate care like a well-oiled machine.

Now, don’t you sit around waiting for UCLA to call you back. Pick up that phone and dial them directly. Why on earth would you let time slip away when it’s so precious? And while you’re at it, look into other dedicated centers where they actually have a track record of handling cases like your father’s. It sounds like the local options are simply not cutting it.

And another thing, what’s all this about not believing what you read online? While it’s true the internet has its inaccuracies, not everyone’s a quack! Trust your instincts and push for the genetic and biomarker testing that could very well be crucial for your father’s treatment. You’ve already started down the right path with PanCan and Tempus, so keep pushing forward.

Your father deserves the absolute best chance at recovery, and if that means hopping on a plane to the mainland or even farther, then so be it. Get cracking and find him the care he needs!
