PET scan and biopsy showed no spread to lymph nodes or other organs. Didn't mention blood vessels.
Considered stage1-2.
Treatment center is Parker hospital in Parker ,CO, part of Advent health system here.
Met with surgeon and oncologist.
Have not heard from them re non-invasive alternatives

Just my opinion but you might think about a Pancreatic Center of Excellence. Initial chemo can be outsourced to a place near home, but after that you need to get to a major facility. Stage 1-2 has many options that you won't find where you are. I am not saying that surgery is not an option or the best option, but IMO, it is one of several. Only a major facility will have these treatments. You can find these on
