@amongst Dr. Kooby has an amazing resume. That's great. I read that he has expertise in minimally invasive robotic surgery. Will your husband's surgery be robotic? Open? A combination of both, since he will be looking for a primary?
I am not a surgical candidate. My cancer is not only in my liver and pancreas, but it is also in my bones. There is too much to cut out. Once the chemo reduced the primary tumor's size, and reduced the lesions' sizes and numbers throughout my body, we now just want to keep everything stable with maintenance chemo. That has worked for the past 2.5 years.

@tomrennie
He will have open surgery to look for the primary tumor.
I’m so sorry yours has spread so far. But it sounds like the medication is keeping it in check. Who knows what treatments they will have in the future!
