drdoyle, I hope you can get that EUS rescheduled so you can get started. Thank you for your posting--and getting right on this sounds sensible. I dragged my feet--probably some kind of denial--had my diagnostic EUS in November 2022, started chemo in March 2023, quit in April, had the Whipple in May 2023. And things had gotten worse; the mass on the pancreas bigger, but still quite operable. I hope you keep us all up to date on your journey; you sound upbeat and ready for the fight. I'd love to give advice, but most of the people on this website astound me with their knowledge of all the aspects of treatment, drugs, tests, etc. Just so you know there are different ways to handle this diagnosis, especially when we're 80!
The latest discussion has revolved around which should come first: the chemo or the Whipple? I hope you get some of those earlier posts regarding that issue. We are with you, Carrie
