They first found my pancreatic cancer in July when I turned really yellow.At first I was told it was resectable after chemo.Then was told it wasn't because it went into 3 lymph nodes.I have taken 4 months of pacitaxel and gemcetibine.The tumor has shrunk and no cancer is showing on my pet scan but they still wont do the surgery because it was in my lymph nodes.I found out Mayo is removing the Lymph nodes and doing the whipple procedure by laproscopy.Much less invasive.I'm going to look for that.
