Treatment options for pancreatic cancer stage 4?

deec2,
I am assuming from your specificity of size and locations that your husband has had CT and PET scans?
What is his CA 19-9 tumor marker blood work number?
It sounds as if a neoadjuvant approach with chemo has been decided - I think this means the intent is for the chemo to control and perhaps shrink the cancer.

His CA 19-9 was over 23,000.
We meet with the Oncologist next week. So unsure of what chemo treatment he will get I do know they said they want to be aggressive because he is healthy. Just unsure what to expect. Our lives have been turned upside down the past week.
