We saw Oncology today (Madison WI Carbone Cancer Ctr) - They said the area of the stomach was very close to his pancreas - the cancer probably traveled via nerve cells. He starts Chemo next week Gemcitabine and Abraxane. He was pretty clear there is no cure. They are looking for any studies that will work for mike. He might have 2 more years with chemo. he said anymore surgery is very unlikely. Luckily Mike is not very sick right now so should do well with chemo.
