I am Her2+ER-. Diagnosed Mets in 2018 in Liver. Lesions NAD on Herceptin Perjeta. Now new lesion in Duodenum. On Kadcyla, and needed duodenal stent as lesion was causing blockage. Lesion again stable (NAD on last 2 PET scans. ) A Whipple procedure has been recommended as it is felt they can remove the remaining tumour with clear margins. The surgery souds terrifying
Any thoughts?

Hi Alice, I can imagine that the Whipple procedure sounds intimidating. To meet others who have had this surgery, I suggest you pop over to the pancreatic cancer group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/pancreatic-cancer/

In particular, see this discussion and post your questions there:

Alice, how are you doing on Herceptin?
