I am in the same situation, mass is 5.0cm x 3.7. Aggressive chemo starts next week and every other week for six months. Possibly radiation after that than Whipple procedure in the spring. My CA19-9 is 1,873. Let us know how your spouse responds . Much luck 🙏🏻

Hi @catrinka58. Thank you for sharing. I will continue to update on my husband's progress. He started his first round of chemo on 10/5 and will have 8 infusions (every other week) along with a 46 hour pump he comes home with after each chemo visit. This leads us up to mid-January if he tolerates the chemo and no setbacks. At that time we determine whipple and then another 2 months of chemo or radiation then whipple (need to see the CA-19 lowered) Please keep me posted as to how you are doing. Sending positive thoughts and best wishes!
