Hi @drewgrebe and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm tagging fellow members @susandc @susan2018 @chemobile @dakotarunner and @marvinjsturing who have experience with stage 2 or 3 pancreatic cancer. They can share the treatments they had and when, and how they're doing today.
Drewgrebe, I'm glad that you're loved one's cancer was found at an early stage, which I'm sure you know is not common with pancreatic cancer. Luckily detection is getting better as are treatment options, and there are more and more pancreatic cancer survivors to tell their stories. How was the pancreatic cancer discovered in your loved one's case? When did they have surgery? Any other treatments being considered?

He had bladder cancer 9 years ago. In treating that they saw a spot on his pancreas. They followed once a year with mri and oct of 2019 the spot split. They had him in for surgery even without doing a biopsy. They took out tail and 2/3 of pancreas. All
Margins and lympth nodes clear. He is going through chemo 12 rounds every two weeks. It just seems like when u tell someone they have pancreatic cancer they look at you as if you do t have long for this world. Did u get that reaction?
