That’s encouraging that surgery was done. My husband had a mass on pancreas 1-1/2 yrs ago but we were told to leave it and monitor by mri. 9 months after last MRI mass in pancreas has grown to 6CM .Also spleen ,& spots on liver they say 99.9% cancer
Had a EUS biopsy 2 weeks ago. Came back not usable. Having a liver biopsy done this Friday. Finally convinced to do blood work 19/9 tumour markers are 120,000! We seem to be going in big circles. We have appointment with oncology at cancer clinic next week I have contacted myself a Hepato/Pancreato/ Biliary surgery group as we want to know if surgery is possible with chemo. The group is triaging his case Our GP did not want to refer but I insisted GP says treat with chemo and if we can’t get a biopsy pallitive Does this seem right?

i somehow don’t think the GP has the expertise to be making such a serious decision that is usually based upon highly specialized expertise. And then there is the question is the ins company willing to cover the cost of chemo w/o a biopsy?
