Dr Kircher's explanation and diagram about pancreatic cancer deepened and clarified my understanding of the disease. She also broadened my perspective on chemotherapy - that the goal is to prepare me for surgery and so it's more than the treatments, it's also about strengthening my body and getting it fit for a successful surgery and then the long-term goal of health.
