Pancreatic cancer returned as mets to ovary: Looking for hope

Hi All,

My mom, after 3 years in remission following chemo/radiation and Whipple, was dx with mets to the left adnexa - outside of ovary and pushing up against bladder. We hear it is extremely rare for PC to show up in this area. Pathology report (done by Urology path) determined it was NOT pancreatic cancer, but oncologist is almost certain it is. He started my mom on Gemcidabine/Abraxine (sp?). Anyone have any experience with mets in a weird area? What was your outcome? Thanks in advance!

@asugent, I moved your new message to the original discussion you started here:

I did this so you can see the post that @asingh90 wrote to you about her mom's experience with metastasis to the ovaries.

Asugent, adnexal tumors can be cancerous, but most often they are benign. It must be confusing to hear from one specialist that she has mets and from the other that the tumors on the ovary is benign. What tests were done to confirm that the new growth is cancer? How is she doing on chemo?
