I have been on that treatment for 4 months starting on 5th month.My tumor went from 17.9 to 5.My Dr would not recommend surgery because she is against the surgery.So I went for a 2nd opinion and that Dr said theres no reason I cant have the surgery.Now looking for someone that does it by laprascopy.Much less invasive and a easier recovery.

Good luck. Glad you got a second opinion.

pendesk8,

Given staging that allows resection, why would a surgeon be against the only course of action that has potential as a cure?

Laparoscopic Whipple procedures are performed at several medical centers in the US, including Mayo.
