Need advice: Stage 2 pancreatic cancer

I had a ca19-9 blood test. It had gone up 700 in 6 weeks. They found a new nodule on my lungs. I had a PET SCan. Waiting for results. But they are not doing surgery now. They say chemo and radiation. My CT scan indicates shrinkage to pancreatic tumor. Surgeon says hard to measure. My tumor is .6 cm from 1.5 cm. I’m kinda of trying to evaluate all of this. I do not want radiation to abdominal area. Can anyone offer information?

Bede, did you get the results of the recent PET Scan? Would the suggest radiation be to the abdomen or for the nodule on the lung? What concerns you about radiation to the abdominal area?
