I cannot imagine a surgeon went in to perform a whipple and did not know the extent of artery involvement. Are you at a pancreatic center of excellence?? So sorry he went through that.

gamaryanne,

In another post cpill noted there was a CT scan during initial diagnosis ... she did not mention whether a tumor sample was obtained prior ... based on the CT arterial involvement should have been apparent, right?

They did do a tumor sample but that did not show that it was wrapped around the portal artery until they went in to do the Whipple surgery.
