@markymarkfl Thank you for your answer. No metastasis. Only at surgical bed. Two options available - more surgery or VMAT. We are only seeing surgeon who did the original pancreatectomy next week so we do not know if whatever is left of the pancreas needs to be removed or another sliver cut off. VMAT is a form of radiotherapy.

I had a whipple and then recurrence at surgical bed - had SBRT which worked but then two lymph nodes were found to be enlarged. Currently in clinical trial which so far has shrunk the nodes and have had no progression detected anywhere else.
