@reme51 I have surgery scheduled October 9th they will remove the head of pancreas, some of small intestines, lymph nodes at least per my CT it had not spread so I’m hoping when he gets in there it remains true then I will have chemo once he states I’m ready.

So you are having surgery before starting chemo?
That's what I'm hoping for but the doctor at OHSU wasn't in agreement. He has a "tumor board" meeting next Wednesday and will then tell me his plan for treatment. If I don't want chemo, he says he will refer me to a different surgeon 🙁
He didn't really give me much hope or information, stating that only 4 out of 10 will live 5 more years! And as far as treatment, he needs to meet with the board next week before giving me more information.
Good luck on your surgery!
