@kakalena , Thanks for posting. Please let us know how it goes with the nanoknife, and whether they do the procedure "open" or percutaneously. What stage is your cancer, and where exactly is the (main) tumor they'll be treating?

Tumor is on the head involving the uncinate process, abutting the SMA,
encircling the SMV and into a smaller vein. The tumor needs to shrink by
25% in order to receive the Nano-knife. Not sure yet how and if it will be
done, but CPMC has done over 100 of this procedure. Ruled out Whipple due
to venal involvement.
