Thank you that makes sense. Although we are just assuming but if it has metastizied to her liver and possibly lymph nodes (not sure but ER said they were swollen) isn't that state 3 or 4? What is the prognosis of that stage? Information I read doesn't look good.

Yes, the stage if it has metastasized to liver was stage 4 for me. Only 1 lymph node involvement which was determined for sure during surgery. My original test, a simple ultrasound, thought 1 lymph node but possibly 2; confirmed only 1 next to pancreas. 26 lymph nodes removed during surgery to allow for testing. You really need to discuss prognosis with her drs. I was prognosed, my stance was never to ask but my husband blurted out the question to my doc, for 6-11 months. It’s been 9 months and I feel pretty optimistic to make it until next year. Again, know your mutations. Some have lived for years in stage 4.
