Hello, @mcendroski, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I appreciate you advocating for your husband's health as he is dealing with pancreatic cancer. I do agree with what @beachdog has said that it is important to work with a surgeon who is very experienced in pancreatic cancer.

In order to find such a doctor, I would encourage you to visit the website for the National Pancreas Foundation. On their website, they have a listing of Pancreas Centers of Excellence. If you look at that list, you might find a doctor near you, or at least within a reasonable driving distance from you. Here is a link to that listing, https://pancreasfoundation.org/npf-centers-info/. Also, here is the website for The American Cancer Society, https://www.cancer.org/. As you can see at the top of their website is a toll-free phone number. You might also consider calling them and inquiring about a pancreatic cancer specialist in your area.

Do you mind sharing how your husband is feeling? What are his most difficult symptoms now?
