She wanted me to continue on chemo until death,yes really.She didn't know she had a fighter.She said if I had the surgery it would just come back anyway.I told her if I even got two years thats two years more.Thanks for the info.

Curious. I hear of stage iv people having the whipple or pancreaectomy. Many doctors claim to work on cases that were deemed inoperable with massive vein involvement, liver, Mets, lymph nodes, etc.
if chemo shrinks the pan mass and the metastatic spots are gone or necrotic, will surgeons still do the surgery? I’ve spoken to many stage iv survivors who have had this chance…why is that some can and some can’t? Look forward to some insight. Inspiration. I know some are even many years out with no evidence of disease or in remission with chemo alone.
