@golfgirl1 hi I’m stage 3 unresectable tumor. I’m going to be trying the optune pac. My oncologist told me about it and ordered it. I went to MD Anderson for my second opinion prior ,just to see if anything else can be done. Ask about crybolation to. It was to risky for me unfortunately . But that’s 90% effective to. Good luck

@valerina30 my husband was the same. Yet after 12 rounds of Chemo he got the green light to go through with the Whipple. At the time even after a few scans before hand the surgeons weren't still 100,% sure there was no involvement with the Artery & veins. They told my husband they were confident enough to move forward. On 4/13 he was operated on. 6 hrs & was a tough few days following. Margins clear & no involvement or Artery or veins. Discharged on 4/19. He also was told unresectable at the initial beginning.
@valerina30 Hi, can you tell me how they determined your stage? I haven't been given one, although I am told I have a locally advanced pc. Is it just from imaging or maybe a biopsy?

@valerina30 What is the optune pac? I never heard of it. Thanks.
