Thank you for the good wishes. Doctor said blood cancer markers were 1500-1600. Said that did indicate cancer as it was high. Not sure exactly what that test was. They do know I have a tumor in the head of my pancreas at the junction of the liver duct and pancreas duct. I am not sure the reason for not having neoadjuvant treatment. Just a guess in that the wait time would be long. I feel that it may have already spread. I would have had more confidence if this all would have taken place 6 months ago when I started having trouble. They will be taking lymph nodes also when they do the Whipple. I guess I will find out in a little over 2 weeks. Best of luck to you with your chemo.
