Coleen my surgeon ( miami cancer institute ) was very discouraging actually as to a good out come for me. And said they would do it if I was 100% on board with all that could go wrong and a painful recovery. He wouldnt be able to do it laparoscopically and said realistically it might gain me another year and half.. and id have to have surgery nov 3 before too much scar tissue from rads developed ..
as did the other opinion from johns hopkins ..
who said if I got radiation he wouldnt do surgery
Well I did the proton mri guided radiation the last week of Sept.
thank you all for input

Not sure if i mentioned the end of Aug after believing I was borderline resectable which got me thru chemo ( which kicked my butt) my surgeons told me they couldn't do the surgery. That was devastating so got my wits about me got that johns hopkins second opinion , which wasnt favorable but he would try… only if i didnt do rads , then decided on the radiation
