I am aware. My husband died from pancreatic cancer (adenocarcinoma) the aggressive pdac . Our son has pnet specifically glucagonoma pnet. At present he is experiencing glucagonoma syndrome. He has ALL the symptoms. It is horrible. His Ki67 is < 3%(grade1) but his stage is 4 as it has spread to LN in neck area and chest. It is not in his liver. I have yet to find anyone with this. There are no clinical trials regarding this tumor. Yes, I’ve searched. There is a trial opened for two years that just started but is for NEts. I can get him in that but first his best option is to remove tumor via surgery. I have all confidence in his team. His oncologist is very knowledgeable and gives us hope. His surgeon is excellent! I rarely saw any and I mean any complications from his work. Somehow we will get through this and power on. Thank you for prayers it is appreciated.
