Hi.
I am Kyle from A2 Michigan.
I was diagnosed a year ago.
Since then I’ve had 9 Folfirinox chemo treatments followed by an attempted and aborted Whipple surgery because of vein involvement. I then had radiation treatments.
I am currently at Mayo Clinic to get a second opinion whether or not surgery is possible.

Hi Kyle, welcome. I'm tagging a few other members who have been to Mayo Clinic for pancreatic cancer treatment like @marvinjsturing @mayojoe7 @kjrita @buckslayer @chemobile @maryvallis512 @susan2018 @colorafo19 and others. They can answer questions you may have about Mayo Clinic and more.

Kyle are you at Mayo Clinic right now? May I ask which location?

@kyaeger I think it is a good idea to get a second opinion at Mayo. The doctors and the surgeons there are some of the best in the world. My Whipple was done 7 years ago at Mayo in Rochester. I know that they have developed procedures in recent years that enable them to do surgery even in very complex situations. Please keep us informed about what the doctors there tell you. I pray that they will be able to help you.
