lovingwifeterry,

I think what you're feeling is local medical teams providing the normal standards of care approach, combined with significant statistical knowledge concerning the daunting and horrible effects of pancreatic cancer.

I believe these medical professionals are as traumatized as you are by this disease.

Once metastasis occurs outside the pancreas and perhaps formal restaging to Stage IV occurs, they know there is little to be done except, in many cases, return to chemo to buy a little bit more time.

What does his CA 19-9 trend indicate?
