@lexaolexa1 has the mass been measured? Have you read the scan reports? Have they presented a treatment plan moving forward as of yet or is that what the next appointment is for? I still feel like something is missing.

@tomrennie Yes, I have read the scan reports, I'm scheduled for another ct scan and followup with the oncologist the first full week in May. If I sound like I'm confused, it's because I am. I received one plan for a course of radiation treatment only to find that it was cancelled. My original Whipple surgeon doesn't want to biopsy the area because he says that it's too risky. My oncologist reports that he doesn't want to treat me because of the negative blood tests and, apparently, doesn't want to 'overtreat' me because my situation may be hopeless.
I will go back through the results of the recent ct and pet scans to attempt to locate a measurement of the size of the area that the shadow lies in and report back.
Thank you.
