Post pancreadectomy my ca19-9 has not gone back to normal. PET scan had a few concerning areas so an ultrasound of thyroid today. Depending on these results and the views after the doctors all review my case, it may be to remove the necrotic tumors in my liver.
Appointment tomorrow to hear their recommendation. Then must decide whether to look for second opinion. I’m determined to be one of the 12%

Update!
I am now post liver resection and pronounced NED! After the pancreadectomy the tumor board projected I had a window to resect the liver based on the success of the Y90 and quick recovery from pancreadectomy so I went for it.
Having a team that believes in you, being as healthy as you can be, and understanding the treatment will be a process-may be key factors in living a good life. Remember that stage IV is just a label. If you come into this healthy, there can be options.
