Thank you. Did you have surgery on the pancreas? Are you nonfuctional? I hope he heals well after the y90. Before the Dr mentioned another drug to use after captem so that is why after the next appt we were surprised about the Y90 suggestion. Also could be because he experienced gastritis etc after the Tem part of Captem.

I have a 4.5 cm tumor in the head of the pancreas and an atrophied tail as well no surgery was suggested pancreas function is good as is the liver. However I do have functioning tumors (gastrinomas). I was told my pancreatic tumor is slower growing that’s why it wasn’t treated as aggressively. I think liver tumors grow faster because of blood supply does anyone know if that’s true?
