mrajat,
Sorry you have to deal with this, such a difficult and conflicting choice for you.
I know nothing about what’s best for you. My wife is currently being treated at Mayo - Rochester for a biopsy confirmed - PDAC that is thought to be BR. She has currently done 10 of 12 neoadjuvant mFOLFIRINOX so far, 11th is scheduled 12/6/24.
Your mention that “The biopsy results came back inconclusive.” is what I noticed.
Have you considered another opinion? To break the tie or give you some other perspective? Can you get a third opinion inside the 3 week surgery window?
Arguments can be made to treat a confirmed cancer diagnosis either way, I can see benefits to both.
You’re young and healthy and have caught whatever you have at what appears to be an early stage which is encouraging.
God bless and good luck.

Thank you for the suggestion! I am thinking of getting a third opinion from Johns Hopkins.
I wish your wife best of luck in her treatment!
