What are the ways to prevent or stop mets. I am feeling so helpless. My father 61 yr old was diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma in January 2023. He underwent 12 rounds of FOLFIRINOX before surgery and 2 rounds after surgery.
Undegone whipples in August 2023. Now there shows lesion in liver in March 2023. What to do further? What is the treatment? Can the lesions disappear from chemo?
Anything about immunotherapy?

Hi @anindita, that is hard news to hear that the cancer has spread to your father's liver after chemo and surgery. I'm tagging a few members like @asingh90 @ro0891 @kathy2000 who have this experience with their family member.

Anindita, has further chemo been suggested for you father? What chemo combination has been recommended?

Apparently my BRCA2 mutation makes a big difference, as would other mutations. A support group called “pancan” will give you a free genetic panel if his doctors/insurance happened not to. They gave me one faster than I could get it otherwise.

I certainly hope chemo can remove my liver lesions, but I have been warned not to expect it. Every case is different, mine were extensive already when I was first diagnosed.
