14 rounds of folfurinox shrunk tumor in tail of pancreas as well as metastases in liver. I had Y90 in September to liver tumor cluster and pancreadectomy in December. After y90 ca19-9 went up but is trending down. Was in normal range prior. Post Ct scan shows all clear except the liver. PET scan is next. Then the what’s next. Assuming PET scan concurs with CT, Liver surgery or more chemo are being discussed. Has anyone been down this path?
