No progression of the disease is a victory! Wishing your husband good petscan results. My husband had a failed Whipple a few weeks ago. When the surgeon got in to do the procedure, the tumor had shrunk more, but inflammation was around the blood vessels involved and he couldn’t distinguish between the inflammation and the blood vessels. He felt it too risky to move forward so he ended the surgery. However, when my husband went for blood work last week for follow up, his markers had decreased even more, which was a bright light after the huge disappointment of the failed surgery. The oncologist was thrilled. We are looking into adjuvant therapies and my husband is considering radiation. He is not sure he wants to do it. He told the docs he wanted a couple of months break to heal and mull things over. In the meantime, he will do the complimentary therapies. If he has further shrinkage and shows a positive result when he is scanned in a couple of months, he will probably say no to radiation. Wishing you the best!
