Hi Iceman,
Glad to hear your treatment has been going well and you are responding positively to it.  I can relate to you, I just turned 50 this year and started having stomach pains in late March, and after going to the doctor and specialists for a month for testing I found out I have Stage 2 Pancreatic Cancer, which is the 4th leading killer of all the cancers.  to say I was shocked was a understatement, I have always been healthy as a horse, I backpack and hunt the backcountry like a 20 year old every year.  I am on my 2nd round of chemo for 6 months (will get done right after extended buck), and then after a 3 week break will have surgery to remove half of the pancreas in early December, followed by a 6-8 week recovery, and then radiation and chemo for 6 weeks.  Hopefully by April 2014 I will be cured.  They caught it early and I meet all of the medical criteria to be "resectible" or treatable, which I feel very fortunate to be in the lucky 15% right off the bat.  I have radically upped my workout routine and my diet, and after discussions with my brother, I went for it and put in for my normal Backcountry elk draw choices.  I have a good group of friends that will help me pack in and out, so if I draw a good tag it will literally be the hunt of a lifetime.

My thoughts and prayers with you and your family.  let me know how you are doing.

Todd
