Hi Colleen - Thank you for reaching out.

We did get the PET scan done. It did show activity in the surgical bed of his pancreas. They did a biopsy. It did come back negative, but they did comment that they were not able to get directly into the "hot spot" showing on the PET Scan, because it was too close to other things. Luckily it is isolated to the pancreas for now. We are scheduled to meet with our Oncologist next week along with a Radiation Oncologist. Not sure the plan of action, but I am hoping they will move forward with radiation. Want to kill what ever is happening in there.

@dianegil Same as my husband. Radiotherapy did not work for him and damaged his intestines and stomach. Had 3 surgeries; 2 to fix the damage. Radiotherapy was supposed to work but it did not. He's now back on Folfirinox.
