How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?
Initial diagnosis and staging take about one week. Surgery, if eligible, requires a hospital stay of 7–14 days, followed by 4–8 weeks of recovery at home. Chemotherapy cycles (e.g., nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine) are given over 3–6 months, with each cycle lasting 3–4 weeks. Total treatment and recovery may span 6–12 months, depending on individual response and complications.
