My 73 year old husband has just been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in the tail (distal) of the pancreas. It was 44mm with no visible spread and clear lymph nodes. He has no symptoms (weight loss, jaundice etc.) Discovered incidentally during a CT Scan for a minor fall off his bicycle. Accepted for surgery (not whipple) dependent upon success of Chemotherapy (Folfirinox..4 rounds). Otherwise the picture of health for an active man of his age.
