Please read my response to Annette who posted something similar to you.
Get a SECOND opinion!! I was diagnosed Stage IV 11/2021. I have been through two types of chemo, 3 surgeries, and now on a clinical trial. There are options.
Pancan.org can give you a list of NCI Pancreas designated institutions around the country. These are places you must visit - at least 2! I visited 3 to make my decisions. When I was diagnosed I had MULTIPLE tumors in my liver, in different lobes. Don't give up!!!

Thank you. I looked at your response and appreciate your comments. I am starting with Chemo on Monday and I am encouraged by your comments. I will be meeting with my Oncologist at Mayo on Tuesday; hopefully, she will have some additional guidance for me. I have a relative who is on the board of the Lustgarten Foundation and will follow up with them as well.
I am not going to give up and I appreciate your encouragement not to do so. I have had so many emotions the last two weeks since my diagnosis. It helps to hear about someone who is successfully managing their cancer. Sending you prayers for continued success and health.
