I just sent Dr Truty my scans too- hoping to hear back... he seems to be one step ahead of other surgeons in a few different factors-vascular surgeon on scene -along with radiologist with the updated knife and lastly tumor straight to mice for regrowth and immuno study.
I am now going to MGH after Dana Farber said too close to vessel for operation and I’m not even done chemo or radiation. FYI my tumor is 2cm and no spread attachment or otherwise- just too close to the Celiac( liver) artery. Definitely use your energy to read here or research -let the bills and thank you stuff wait...

Who did you see at Dana Farber?
If Dr Thomas Clancy said it was not possible, it is likely not. My husband had the laparoscopic Whipple with him a few weeks ago. Excellent.
He was Borderline resectable with a larger tumor and mesenteric vein adjacent. Underwent 8 cycles of Folfirinox but then had a thrombosis so surgery delayed while he had two more rounds while on blood thinners. The surgery went well but then he had a pneumothorax. Clear margins around tumor, but Pathology report found lymph node involvement (4).
