Had the laparoscopy yesterday and looks like good news. No evidence of any cancer except the one tumor on the liver, about 6 cm. The CT scan done in Sept. of last year showed a 7.3 cm tumor on the pancreas, several lesions on the omentum and 3 lesions on the liver. All not there when he did the laparoscopy yesterday except the liver tumor and he took several tissue samples from it for analysis. My oncologist and the surgeon are calling this thing an "escape tumor". One that somehow becomes resistant to chemo. So, from what I understand, the plan is to use radiation to burn off the liver tumor, put me on some kind of anticancer maint. drug and do scans periodically. And I'm going to see if the VA will pay for MRI's instead of CT's. Little concerned about radiation exposure from 14 CT scans I've had since this journey started. And I'm attributing my results yesterday to some divine intervention also.
