@colleenyoung I am coming to Mayo Clinic for a second opinion on a recent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer surgery. My local doctors have staged it at stage one as it was found accidentally when having a CT scan to look for possible blood clots in the lungs. Anyone else had treatment at Mayo for stage one?

@ardithbjorge, I'm glad you received a helpful reply from @demooretucson before your initial visit.
I can imagine you're concerned about the lesion they found on your lung. While I understand the anxiety, it is good they found it so you'll know what you're dealing with.
I appreciated getting your update and wait to hear about the results of the bronchoscopy.

Dear Ardithbjorge -- As a 70 year old male with unstaged bile duct cancer, in October 2024, I had curative bile duct resection and reattachment surgery at Mayo Rochester by Dr Mark Truty. Six months prior to my surgery I met with Dr. Truty for an initial consult. Very impressed and pleased by the entire experience. Prior to my surgery, I had 10 biweekly chemo treatments and 28 daily (M-F) treatments at the University of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson. Dan
