I went in to remove what was thought to be a stone in my bile duct by ERCP. Once there no stone found but a mass on head of my pancreas. He removed it and thought it looked good and not cancer however it came back cancer.

Do you know what type of cancer was found in your pancreas? It usually ends in noma.

So it sounds like you're not on chemo? Or maybe things have changed since the 10th?
I was diagnosed 1.5 months ago with adenocarcinoma, well-differentiated, in the tail of the pancreas, 2.7 x 1.4 cm. I was hoping for immediate surgery but now they're saying the mass has encased the splenic artery and surgery may not be possible. Disappointed and confused. But I meet the surgical oncologist tomorrow at OHSU in Portland, OR.
How are you doing? Have you had more surgery? Hope things are moving forward for you...
