I am at Duke Cancer Center in Durham NC and very satisfied with my terrific medical team, but I have also heard very good things about Mayo Clinic and rely on publications from their research. i would definitely go for a consult and if recommended do the Whipple. Pancreatic cancer can be aggressive and the sooner you deal with the better. I recommend that you agree to genetic testing of your tumor as it helps decide your best treatment after surgery and where you fall in the genetic grouping. I unfortunately have a rare type found in 1-2% but knowing helps us look for clinical trials and other treatments that might be available. The best to you and your husband. Let us know how your visits go.
