Hi, yes for additional opinions, as they recommend the distal surgery, but I’ve heard central could be better for me. Some surgeons recommend laparoscopic/robotic and others, open. I’ve heard open is better (for me), but not everyone agrees.
I boy had one opinion. I trusted my surgeon completely. He was extremely informative and drew a diagram of where the tumor was and then drew another diagram of what The Whipple surgery entailed. He put me completely at ease. I sincerely that you can also trust the doctors that you are able to see. I wish you all the best and reach out to NET organizations. They are extremely informative in what you can expect going thru this journey. Prayers to you and your family
