Aug 13, 2021 · I knew that other people in my circle who had received a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer had effectively received a death sentence.

The story, or treatment, begins with three very memorable images. About two years ago I looked in the mirror and saw that my skin had turned yellow. I went to the emergency room in the Greenwich Village Northwell Health, not far from where I live. The triage nurse took one look at me and said I had jaundice.

My oncologist, Dr. Danny Khalil, put me on FOLFIRINOX, what I was told was essentially the strongest version of chemotherapy patients who have my diagnosis usually get. Each treatment consisted of three cancer-battling drugs, a medication to keep my white blood cell co...

There were alread...
I’m long done with chemotherapy, and the two-year anniversary of turning yellow is just around the corner. I’m in the pattern of getting scanned once every couple of months. The last scan was completely clear. Two remarkable words, cancer free. I’ve resumed a semi-normal life, going to the movies, riding my bicycle, writing, and teaching. Over the ...
