“A change in the amino acid residue at position 12 in the GTPase KRas protein where glycine has been replaced by arginine. [from NCI]”. I didn’t get the tempus, but got another type of testing of my tumor after surgery. No one ever explained any of it to me, always found out through the internet and what others have posted on this site. I have the KRAS12D mutation, TP53 and ATM; probably have more mutations by now. @stageivsurvivor and @markymarkfl can give you more complete answers. Also, sounds like ASAP you need to get a second opinion from a pancreatic center of excellence. Which state are you in?

I’m in southern Ohio but also have a home in Central Florida. I had most of my chemo and surgery done at the Moffitt center in Tampa. Unfortunately, my experience with their medical oncologist was not a good one. He also went by the algorithms and it was my research that found the Tempus report option .
I would be interested in your comment of going to a center of excellence if you have an opinion whether to go to Mayo or MD Anderson.
I thought that Moffitt was a center of excellence, but I’m not seen that description on any searches that I’ve done
Appreciate your feedback!
