@qq1, that is all very perplexing and confusing. It certainly seems like good news that the 2024 results indicate that there is no evidence of disease (NED). This is not completely unheard of that cancer goes into remission. However, I can understand your unease at believing that. Was something missed in 2024? Was there a misinterpretation in 2023?

Am I understanding correctly, that the diagnoses stands that she is living with stage 4 cancer, currently in remision and therefore no active treatment is necessary at the moment? Thus she is on active surveillance and will continue to be monitored every 3, 6 or 12 months?

We are just as confused. The medical group she is member only diagnosed her with ampulla dysplasia. The past year. Only Mayo came back with ampulla cancer on 2023 specimen this April 2024. Her oncologist said her specimen were too small to get a cancer cell. She was on a routine to place a metal stent to maintain her bile flow from 2/2023 to 1/2024. She currently has strong pain in her abdomen, placed on full liquid diet and pain medicine. No procedure can be done to relieve her pain. No surgery, no radiation , no chemo，no drain. She is not in remission.
Oncologist letting her cancer to progress on palliative care. We want to make sure her diagnosis is accurate, so she can get a viable treatment plan. No cancer team has been formed. What should we do, get a second opinion on oncologist,?
