Options for unresectable tumor with SMV involvement

Hi @steveron, that must've come as a shock to have your surgery deemed incomplete when they discovered superior mesenteric vein (SMV) involvement. I believe you already had chemotherapy prior to being scheduled for Whipple surgery. Did you also have radiation prior, too?
What treatment is being recommended for you now?

My Whipple was also aborted due to vascular involvement. Highly reputable surgeon so that’s not the case. Oncology just wants to wait and see with mine as it is not spreading yet. When it does start growing, I will be back on 5-FU infusions. I am open to hearing other Options as well.
